Here’s the questions for bird-brain quiz no.4. No winner for quiz no.3 . The answers can be of birds from around the world, but they’re all fairly well-known ones. It’s just for fun, I hope you enjoy it! Here goes –
Q1 – You’ll have to be an early riser to be up with this family of birds, and no messing about!
Q2 – Great birds on a windy day! A mark of quality.
Q3 – Huge seabird. Often associated with bad luck, it certainly wasn’t for the group Fleetwood Mac. Their single of the same name got to no.1 in 1969!
Q4 – These little yellow songsters might be found playing football in Norwich City!
Q5 – Sometimes mistaken for Swallows, you’ll have to be quick to get this one!
Q6 – Name of a pub and a chippy in Hull. A Royal Angler!
Q7 – This dove is the ancestor of all our feral pigeons. Clue – Get a stick at the seaside!
Q8 – Little wader. Don’t get tied in one answering this quiz!
Q9 – These huge Owls are no comics. They have been reported breeding in the UK, in fact you might say that they’ve ‘landed’! See photo above.
Q10 – Some of these birds were awarded the animals equivalent of the VC ( ‘Dickens Medal’) in World War II . Clue – Get the message?

Keep trying, C23! We must night owls doing quizzes at this time of the night! This night owl is off to his perch to roost. Night all.

Well done, again, C23! You’re our leading bird-brain to-date with two quiz wins under your wing. I’m thinking of a change to the format so that any early winning reply doesn’t put people off having a go. Any ideas, anyone?

Cheers Bob. I’m doing my happy dance right now! I did need to consult a book for number 8 though, I’ve never heard of the knot.
Why don’t you do a ‘hangman’ style quiz where people have to guess one letter at a time? After so many of the letters have been filled in, everyone has a good chance of being able to guess the final answer.
For example,
Clue…The bird on a chess board.
First person guesses ‘K’ and you then post
_ _ _ K
And on you go until someone shouts ‘ROOK’!
I did this on a railway forum and it was fun. Just a suggestion.

I’m sure I’ll get a few unrepeatable suggestions for that one, C23! Reminds of the joke:- What four-letter word ends in ‘IT’ and you find at the bottom of a budgie’s cage? Grit, of course! I should’ve saved that for the next quiz!

Might try your ‘hangman’ idea, C23. The Knot,by the way, is very common – they gather in their thousands. Causes some confusion – is it a knot? No, it’s not. That’s what I said didn’t I.. ?oh,dear

Bob: that reminds of a joke in a pre-war Meccano Magazine:
Man goes into shop: "Two 4 watt bulbs, please"
Assistant: "Two what?"
Man:"No, 4 watt"
Assistant: "Four what?"
Man: "That’s right"
