The '''Liver birds''' are two large and famous [[bronze]] metal birds on top of a [[building]] - the [[Liver Building]] - in the [[city]] of [[Liverpool]], [[England]]. The building has the [[office]]s of an insurance organization. The birds are [[symbol]] of the city, although no birds really look like this.<ref>{{Cite web
The sound of the end of the word "liver" in the name of the bird is like "driver" not "river". The start of the word Liverpool ("liver") sounds like the word "river". This is a funny play on words.
There is also a [[British]] [[television]] [[situation comedy|sitcom]] [[The Liver Birds|with the same name]] that is about two young women who share a flat in Liverpool. The play on words is increased by a second British [[slang]] meaning of the word "bird" to mean young woman.
