The Three Blackbirds

I recently seen a pub sign, which comes from the The Dacorum Heritage Trust collection.
The pub is situated in a village called Flamsted in Hertfordshire and their website says the building dates back to the 16th Century.
I really like how the birds were drawn, they look almost comical.   Using Pencil and watercolour I drew them and copied them three times.
I first did a version in white. Then I tried different background washes in blue and yellow.
What do you think works best?
