Cool Hot on the heels... 10 more anagrams.
OK, I’ve tried to make the theme a bit more difficult, so 2 virtual points for guessing the theme… and one for each bird, of course!


  1. DRASTICALLY FORCES ETHICS
  2. ENTRAP WARRING SARACENS
  3. LAZARUS BROILED CROWS
  4. DIM DORM - RUBBISH DWELLING!
  5. LARS - ONLY SIBERIAN
  6. NOTABLE ALLEY WILDLIFE
  7. CEREBRATE SLIGHTLY
  8. LENA REORDERS URNS
  9. BLOCKADED "TURKISH LEE"
  10. CAMPAIGNED WITH IRIS

Now I have a real dilemma. Do I do the anagrams or the GGBC results - work coming a poor third!

2 to go!

There's a better theme than that (IMHO).

Let me know if you need any clues!

#7 -- Greater Scythebill; back to edged implements again! Theme's got me stumped so far . . . (By the way, what does IMHO stand for?)

Maybe... but you're warmer than you think!

Just number 2 left, I believe... don't know whether it will give the theme away or not!

I'm not having any luck with the bird names, but could the theme be birds with silent letters in their names, for instance the 'c' in 'scissor'?

I might just be stabbing at thin air, but quite a few of them have silent letters (maybe all).

Nope!

Ken's last guess was in the region, but try to be a bit creative where it looks like the obvious connection doesn't work.

Aha! The theme is things with a blade: scissors, grass, razor, sword, roller, fan, scythe, runner, shoulder, scimitar!
If this isn't it, at least it's a good possibility! (IMHO -- I think I figured this one out, too! )

That's all the birds solved...

So can you see anything that could be a theme?
