If you could combine plumage, size, song and behavioural characteristics of any bird into a single creation, what would you come up with?

For example, a goldfinch's head on a rosy starling's body with the song of a ring ouzel and the fight of a woodpecker [called a Grousy pecker].

Let your imagination run riot - illustrations, perhaps?

Reminds me of an old football song "If I had the wings of a sparrow...."

Oh great, as if there aren't already enough birds out there that I'm never going to see you go and start thinking up more! How about stuff that basically looks like other stuff but sounds a bit different. Plenty for serious listers to go chase, but nothing for the rest of us to really worry about.

Cheers

Probably a Haast's Eagle the size of a Blue Tit ...


... I imagine it would squeak a lot.

Oh God, I want one of those - you could get it to prey on Pygmy Mammoths

Spotted Flycatcher with a homing instinct of a dog.

Would keep mosquitos away in summer.
