Do you like Klingons?

Maybe not official (?), but I see the classic TOS Romulan ship design called "Bird of Prey" pretty consistently - for example, on this modelling web page.

Moreover, all the TOS Romulan ships had hunting birds painted on them, including the ones which used Klingon D7 hulls. I don't remember any Klingon allusions to birds at all in TOS.

Does it really matter? The ships look good (in blue). Who cares if they are strictly canon?

I don't really care if they're canon or whatever. In fact, I don't care about anything post TOS / Star Trek VI. I was just chatting.

Your right, there was a Romulan Bird Of Prey. My apologies. The Romulan BOP was from TOS. But in TOS they established that the Romulans and Klingons traded technology and ships. So it is entirely likely that both the Romulans and the Klingons in the TOS movie era had simular BOP designes.

Yes, and I've seen several conjectures to that effect, most saying that the Klingons got the BOPs from the Romulans.

This would be interesting as a Romulan ship.

I would say the Klingons got the better end of this deal.
