20 (Count 'em, 20!) Anagrams

[birdman]

As I am going to be otherwise engaged with GGBC stuff for a little while - I've taken the plunge and produced 20 anagrams for your delight and delectation (for when you aren't out GGBCing, of course!)

There is a common theme as usual (and no odd one out this time!) so a bonus virtual point for getting the theme right!

Happy rearranging!

Peach-fronted parakeet –that’s it for tonite birdman. Hope they’re all done by the time I next look as it’s driving me mad. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for the help Robin--I'm stumped.

I thought that 'chestnut' was in number 19, I just couldn't find how. Now I know why. It isn't in the list that I'm using. 8-P

Still 3 more!

Can't do the anagrams because I don't know anything about birds other than British, and not all that many of them - but at least with the help of everyone who has posted answers, I think I have the theme!!

9. Plumbeous Water-Redstart

[birdman]

And the theme is...???

[Michael W]

Birds with flavor in their names (kind of like my first guess!)?

[Brian Stone]

Is it simply Food and Drink? Come on Elizabeth, what did you think?

[Susan C]

Kinds of food

Yes, I reckoned anything to do with food and drink. :cat:

[birdman]

That's it... simply food and drink.

[Eileen]

Theme seems to be food!
