Thanks! Western Gull for #5 then, and probably Long-billed Curlew or Marbled Godwit for #6

It would be helpful to have some scale for size.
Nutckracker I asume you are referring to #5 and #6 , not #4 and #5
6. is indeed a wader and could be Curlew sp. / Whimbrel from pattern , but not marbled godwit.
5. is indeed a gull, but I can´t say which.
4. is most likely Hyacinth Macaw
1. is a domestic pigeon secondary ; that should be about 10-11 cm long
3. Crow secondary
2. most likely either ringnecked parakeet or an Amazona species?
