For steppe people all kinds of animals were parts of their mythology since their beliefs included totemic elements. Our Turul is the mythological progenitor of the House of Árpád - maybe will write more about this later. It's a specific predatory bird, the kerecsensólyom (Falco cherrug). Another important animal is deer (also in a totemist way), species not specified precisely.
Btw the eagle/falcon on that Hunnic crown is a bobblehead. Or so I heard.

I already wrote about the Crown's cross I believe (or maybe I just wanted to? it is always asked why is it askew), I just re-skimmed the "sources" I gathered back then and drafted a new text.
> first one seems the most believable one
When I read about the third that also seemed plausible however it's not clear from the articles what are the hard facts and what is speculation.
Frankly, the supporting evidence for all the possibilities I listed are very weak.

That depiction is as good as any, frankly more realistic than most. Tho the bend is too much in that cross, it's just about 23°, similar to Earth's axis tilt so it stands askew because the Crown represents the Earth in the universe.

Will reply in depth later, but basically yes.

Again, later will watch it. Last week I saw an article, they are searching for the exact place of the clash and what are the "results" (i.e. latest speculations).
