10 more bird anagrams for the veggies among us!

(I'm afraid the common theme is the obvious one!)

1) N.Y. CURRIED POTATO
2) TUT! LEMONADE OR GARLIC!
3) NORIS - HE IMPORTED CABBAGE
4) HELP! POINTY CARROT!
5) LAWMAN, PACK RED ONION
6) BOD, SHH! THEN TRY CAULIFLOWER
7) DRIED BROCCOLI
8) RON, I LOATH A PARSNIP
9) BELOW A DOME - A TURNIP!
10) DUKE, THAT'S CUCUMBER

Here we go!
10. Chubut Steamerduck

Kalamazoo Ken · Friday 20th February 2004, 06:04

1. PUERTO RICAN TODY
2. MULTICOLORED TANAGER
3. CHINESE BAMBOO-PARTRIDGE

This is insane! I've GOT to get some sleep!!

birdman · Friday 20th February 2004, 08:09

Sleep soundly, knowing that's 4 down!

Kalamazoo Ken · Friday 20th February 2004, 14:37

4. TROPHY PRATINCOLE? ... Uh, no. CEYLON PITH PARROT? ... I don't think so. AHA! COPPERY THORNTAIL!!

Do I get extra credit for inventing new birds?

birdman · Friday 20th February 2004, 15:51

I'm sure it would be possible to gather enough evidence for splitting!

Kalamazoo Ken · Friday 20th February 2004, 16:18

5. OPAL-CROWNED MANAKIN

By the way, I'm assuming the theme is in the clues, not the answers? (Very clever, by the way!) Or is there one for the birds themselves that is obvious to others but hasn't dawned on me yet?

birdman · Friday 20th February 2004, 20:28

No, you got it Ken... the only intentionally common thread is in the anagram itself.

7. CROCODILE BIRD

Three to go -- they're getting tougher! Anybody else out there have an idea???

steve_nova · Saturday 21st February 2004, 01:09

Hmmm, I'll have a look but can't guarantee anything!

Kalamazoo Ken · Saturday 21st February 2004, 02:57

8. HISPANIOLAN PARROT

Getting closer...

Kalamazoo Ken · Saturday 21st February 2004, 03:07

9. PALE-BROWED TINAMOU

One more to go!

**robinm** · Saturday 21st February 2004, 06:11

Bit of a late starter but ..

6. Yellow-throated Brush-Finch

birdman · Saturday 21st February 2004, 06:22

robinm comes up on the blind side to end the game!

Well done guys... there are more in the pipeline for the near future.

Kalamazoo Ken · Saturday 21st February 2004, 14:05

Well, I've been beated to the punch. Woke up this morning with "yellow-throated" on my mind, checked it out, came up with the Brush Finch -- and discovered Robin pre-empted me. Well done, my man.

The ironic thing is that this is the only one of all the 10 that I've actually seen (on my recent trip to Nicaragua)! Figures it would be the last one I would get...
Bring on some more! (I may work on a few myself.)
