reesetee Thanks, hernesheir. I'm adding them to the "nicknames" list instead of this one. :-) Dec 5, 2010
hernesheir lintie, wattle-crow. Dec 5, 2010
reesetee Sionnach, you'll keep me busy for months with that excerpt. Thanks!
M, probably on the "Things Avian" list. Added; thanks. Mar 17, 2010
mollusque Which of your bird wird lists does entermewer fit? Mar 16, 2010
sionnach I like gull-cries and the twittering together of fine cranes. I like the surf-roar at Tralee, the songs of the three sons of Meadhra and the whistle of Mac Lughaidh. These also please me, man-shouts at a parting, cuckoo-call in May. I incline to like pig-grunting in Magh Eithne, the bellowing of the stag of Ceara, the whinging of fauns in Derrynish. The low warble of water-owls in Loch Barra also, sweeter than life that. I am fond of wing-beating in dark belfries, cow-cries in pregnancy, trout-spurt in a lake-top. Also the whining of small otters in nettle-beds at evening, the croaking of small-jays behind a wall, these are heart-pleasing. I am friend to the pilibeen, the red-necked chough, the parsnip land-rail, the pilibeen mona, the bottle-tailed tit, the common marsh-coot, the speckle-toed guillemot, the pilibeen sleibhe, the Mohar gannet, the peregrine plough-gull, the long-eared bush-owl, the Wicklow small-fowl, the bevil-beaked chough, the hooded tit, the pilibeen uisce, the common corby, the fish-tailed mud-piper, the cruiskeen lawn, the carrion sea-cock, the green-lidded parakeet, the brown bog-martin, the maritime wren, the dove-tailed wheatcrake, the beaded daw, the Galway hill-bantam and the pilibeen cathrach. A satisfying ululation is the contending of a river with the sea. Good to hear is the chirping of little red-breasted men in bare winter and distant hounds giving tongue in the secrecy of god. The lamenting of a wounded otter in a black hole, sweeter than harpstrings that.

reesetee Agreed--loads of fun to say over and over. Even more fun when irritating those nearby. ;-) Feb 5, 2010
hernesheir I really like the Chachalaca part; you can keep the adjective, which I imagine you have on that other list! Feb 5, 2010
reesetee Yes, also known as the Rufous-Vented Chachalaca. Thanks, h. Feb 5, 2010
hernesheir See guacharaca. Feb 5, 2010
reesetee Uh oh. There goes my work day. ;-)
Thanks, yarb--yes, I am, but I haven't looked at it in quite a while. Mar 19, 2009
yarb I suppose you're already familiar with this glittering gem of scholarship? Mar 19, 2009
mollusque How about irrisor? Feb 22, 2009
reesetee Or...wait. Were you calling me a thickhead? Because that's a whole other list. Jan 9, 2009
reesetee Thanks, which, but I think I'll put that on my nicknames list instead of this one, since it's an older term and not officially used any longer. (The current term, whistler, is already listed.) Jan 9, 2009

reesetee How could I have missed that one? Thanks, whichbe. Dec 19, 2008

reesetee But am I by a lake? The mountains? And what if I really do live on the Indian subcontinent? Nov 10, 2008
bilby Pantsylvania. Nov 10, 2008
reesetee Why am I silly? Do you remember where I live? Hmm?? Nov 10, 2008
bilby I live by the sea, silly! Nov 10, 2008
reesetee I prefer the mynah spelling myself, bilb. Thanks for pointing out the "mina."
Red eyes? A wattlebird, maybe? A figbird? (I don't know where exactly you live and/or saw it.) Nov 9, 2008
bilby Probably too much Wordie, moll. Nov 8, 2008
mollusque @ borked: fixed, reesetee;
@ mynah: why were your eyes red, bilby? Nov 7, 2008
bilby I was taught mynah here but I randomed mina so brought it to your attention.
I saw a beautiful bird with large red eyes today. Unidentified. Nov 7, 2008
reesetee Ha! Mollusque, you slay me. (But this link to your list appears to be borked.)
Bilby, I have a different spelling, myna, listed already. :-) Nov 7, 2008
bilby mina. Nov 6, 2008
mollusque Correct! Reesetee reset ready for inspection. Nov 6, 2008
reesetee Something monovocalic, no doubt. :-) I await the unveiling. Nov 5, 2008
mollusque No, but it inspired something. Stay tuned. Nov 5, 2008
reesetee That's a good one for my nicknames list, mollusque!
By the way--did that hurt to say? ;-) Nov 5, 2008
mollusque How about teetee, reesetee? Nov 4, 2008
reesetee Thanks, mollusque! A work in progress, as you can see. :-) Sep 10, 2008
mollusque How about sifilet? Sep 10, 2008
reesetee Thanks, Pro! I have grouse on the "More Bird Wirds" list. This all started out in a sort of haphazard way--the original list is adjectives, the "More Bird Wirds" list is North American birds, and this list covers just about everywhere else. So lots of bird names are split up among the lists. However, I'm adding blackgame to my bird nicknames list! Aug 26, 2008
Prolagus I just noticed you don't have blackgame, or if you prefer, Black Grouse... Aug 26, 2008
reesetee Already listed, mollusque. :-) Jun 24, 2008

mollusque How about tomtit, which is not only a bird, but a kind of boat. May 11, 2008
reesetee And good for you, rolig! As I mention above, this list will probably never be finished, but I'm always happy to add to it. :-)
Dontcry, thanks for the mojito. You're right--they certainly deserve to be world-famous. *calmer now* May 7, 2008
rolig I have to say, I was surprised that I listed glede before you did, reesetee. I came across it via my Literati addiction. May 7, 2008
dontcry Sorry, r. I read too quickly and saw "still more birds" and of course, i went, you know....there... Here, have a mojito to calm your nerves ;-). May 6, 2008
reesetee Whaaa...? ME?? Good grief, no! May 6, 2008
dontcry Oh, thank God! When I read the title of this list, I thougt you were offing birds! May 6, 2008
reesetee Thanks, m! May 6, 2008
mollusque Merl. May 6, 2008
reesetee Good one, mollusque--thanks! Mar 25, 2008
mollusque How about urubu? Mar 25, 2008
reesetee Already have cockatiel listed, m, but I'll add this too. Thanks. Mar 17, 2008
mollusque How about quarrion? Mar 16, 2008
bilby *giggles* Dec 31, 2007
reesetee Uh oh. That's an idea for another bird list! Shall we? Dec 31, 2007
bilby Simorgh appears in Persian poetry, though it's mythical. Dec 29, 2007
reesetee Thank you! They go nicely with chiffchaff, gang-gang, and weet-weet. :-) Dec 21, 2007
mollusque More monovocalic birds: torotoro and zoozoo. Dec 21, 2007
reesetee Thanks, mollusque! Dec 17, 2007
mollusque How about kagu? Dec 15, 2007
reesetee That's it! I'm making a "bird nicknames" list. Sionnach, that'll be the first one on it. :-) Dec 6, 2007
sionnach Then there is the welsh ambassador. Dec 6, 2007
reesetee Good one, mollusque! Did you know that it was spelled eeeeve back in the 1700s? (Just looked it up.) That's a lot of Es.
By the way, I added it to "More Bird Wirds" instead of this list--that one's for the States. :-) Dec 5, 2007
mollusque How about iiwi? Dec 5, 2007
mollusque How many bats would a wombat bat if a wombat could bat bats in combat? Dec 5, 2007
reesetee That's because a) it's far from being an exhaustive list of bird names (I'm still adding to it), and b) it's one of several bird lists I've made. Some of the ones you name are on "More Bird Wirds." The others I shall duly add. Thanks, bilby!
Oh, by the way--the "respectable" words are what I'm shooting for here. :-) Nicknames might end up being a whole other list.
Edit: The nicknames list is here. Dec 4, 2007
bilby I can't find any of the following in your list: wagtail, skua, kingfisher, cockatoo, galah, gang-gang, brolga, jacana, darter, ibis and jabiru. A few Australian ones in there but they're all respectable words.
Oh woe! Our wallaby lobbing lobby is oddly wobbly! Dec 4, 2007
reesetee I'd go to bat for combat wombats, especially if they're Tibetan combat wombats. ;-)
Welsh birders? Not I! Dec 4, 2007
sionnach > nor would I lobby for Wallaby Lobbing
But how do you feel about combat wombats?
Has Wordie been taken over by some splinter group of Welsh birders? Dec 4, 2007
reesetee Really? An actual bird name? I always thought it was just a nickname, like our little brown jobs here in the States. :-)
Bilby, I don't truck with chucking marsupials, nor would I lobby for Wallaby Lobbing. ;-) Dec 4, 2007
bilby Sheesh, everyone seems to want to chuck our marsupials around. See quokka. We probably missed the boat by failing to lobby for Wallaby Lobbing as an Olympic sport. Dec 4, 2007
mollusque According to OED2, weet-weet is the sound of both a chaffinch and a sandpiper, but also the name of a sandpiper and a kangaroo-rat.
From one of the quotations "A peculiar toy is the weet-weet or ‘kangaroo-rat’, which the practised player can throw to enormous distances." Dec 4, 2007
reesetee Isn't that a chaffinch, mollusque? Dec 4, 2007
mollusque How about weet-weet, a kind of sandpiper? Dec 4, 2007
reesetee Thanks, mollusque! As you might guess, this list is a work in progress. :-) Nov 20, 2007
mollusque How about fernbird, from New Zealand? Nov 20, 2007
abraxaszugzwang For all you bird lovers: cockyolly bird an expression meaning "dear little bird," used both about birds and as an endearment. It is a variant of dicky-bird. Feb 25, 2007
reesetee I like bristlehead and wrybill myself. They sound like stand-up comedians. :-) Feb 18, 2007
trivet My favorites: chough, rook, apostle bird
They just look so sassy. Feb 17, 2007
