Name That Bird Quiz #2

12/20 Totally blanked on Cassowary and swallow! Didn't know the others.

gotta love the aptly named "red-winged blackbird"

"Peafowl," huh?

@Wildman1056, yep! Peafowl is the gender neutral term for the bird. Peacock is for males, and peahen for females. The bird in the picture is a peacock, but the species is called peafowl. :)

what makes the ibis so sacred? those things keep stealing my sandwiches!

In ancient Egyptian culture, the god of knowledge and writing was Thoth, and he had the head of an ibis.

That Bird of Paradise is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Wow. :)

13/20 didn't know a lot of these birds and couldn't come up with swallow and jay

i put jay, but didn't get it because it was 'blue' jay :) lol

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird"

derp. I kept guessing vulture

Uh, hate the 'sacred' ibis! Those dudes think they're soooo special and walk up to you and steal your food!

Got all on first try. But I'm a birdwatcher so I guess that's expected.

how come vulture cant be accepted for California Condor since it is a type of a vulture. Like I typed duck and got mallard.

I put sparrow as swallow and vulture for the condor.... I should really touch up on my birds

I thought the condor was a turkey vulture and misspelled bird of paradise

I have a whole family of wood peckers in my yard that look just like the one in the picture(: It's rare, especially in VA

i knew way more friggin birds than i thought i did.16/20

epically failed. 5/20

How can anyone not know the ibis? It's what makes Australian amusement parks so exciting and unpredictable. Will it run up and steal a chip? No! It will run up and steal ALL the chips. And knock your drink over on top of you so that you're too busy to chase it. A few of these birds are native or common to Australia and the areas around it, so I did better than usual. 18/20.

My only criticism is that the test validates answers based on the last names - it doesn't matter what kind of warbler or ibis etc that a species is. I don't know if that is something that can be controlled but it would be good to make it stricter.

If you accept hawk for the falcon, then you should accept vulture for condor

19/20 Couldn't come up with cassowary.

No raven? You must be a Steelers fan.
