The manufacture appears British to me but probably not military, more likely to be a school or college crest.

The bird looks similar to the bird on the Ardingly College, Sussex CCF badge.

I don't think so. It depicts 'a pelican in her piety', on old Christian symbol based on the legend that the female pelican pierced her own breast and shed her blood to nourish her young, as Christ shed his for mankind.'

Quite a common symbol in Catholic [and I suspect Anglican] churches, so a school badge makes ense.

Below a liver bird for comparison.
