OK...

This is my second attempt, and I've tried to tighten up the selection so that there are no "cyclic" names. (Anyone who tried the last one will know what I mean!)

Any constructive feedback would be appreciated!

As before, hyphenated words have been split into separate words.

Twenty birds from this list of words.

AFRICAN, ANDEAN, AWAY, BIRD, BLACK, BLACK, BLUE, COCK, COCK, COLLARED, COLLARED, COLLARED, COQUETTE, CORMORANT, CRESTED, CRESTED, CRESTED, DOUBLE, DOUBLE, DOVE, DOVE, DOVE, DUSKY, DUSKY, EARED, FLYCATCHER, FLYCATCHER, FRUIT, GLOSSY, GLOSSY, GO, GREATER, GREEN, GREEN, GREENBUL, GREY, GREY, GREY, LESSER, LESSER, LESSER, OF, ORIENTAL, OROPENDOLA, PARADISE, PEACOCK, PEACOCK, PHEASANT, ROCK, SHORT, SPECTACLED, STARLING, STARLING, SUNBIRD, SUNBIRD, TAILED, TERN, THE, THRUSH, TURTLE, TURTLE, TYRANT, TYRANT, WAGTAIL

Hello birdman,
I gave your list a shot and came up with the following species. I'm sure I got something wrong because I had two words left!

Peacock Coquette
Grey Peacock-Pheasant
Grey Go-away-bird
Andean Cock-of-the-rock
Cock-tailed Tyrant
Crested Oropendola
Double-crested Cormorant
Lesser Crested-Tern
Lesser Wagtail-Tyrant
Lesser Blue-eared Glossy-Starling
African Paradise-Flycatcher
Greater Double-collared Sunbird
Collared Flycatcher
Black-collared Starling
Oriental Turtle-Dove
Grey-green Fruit-Dove
Spectacled Greenbul
Dusky Turtle-Dove
Glossy-black Thrush
Green Sunbird

The remaining words are 'dusky' and 'short'.

I'll give it another try when I get around to it!

Michael

Hi birdman --
Thanks for another bit of fun. I got here late (don't check in often enough, I guess), so had to avoid "peeking" at Michael's solution before working out to the same conclusion on my own.
By the way, I must confess your anagrams are very clever and very challenging. I will hone my skills on them!

Grace and peace -- Ken
