My reading of Animal.qml suggested that it was nested more like below:
Item {
  Item {
   width: childrenRect.width
   height: childrenRect.height
   anchors.centerIn: parent
    Item { id: head
     Item { id: earL}
     Item { id: earR}
     Item { id: face}
   }
  }
 }
 Item { id: tail}
}

In that case, the second item is going to end up offset from the root
0,0 point of the Animal{} depending on the size of the internal items.
