Riddle: Moneybird.

hmmmm

 

[MLoyko]

Green finch?

 

[Larry Lade]

Dollar Bird?

 

[maltese falcon]

This is so obvious , it's a dollarbird. They exist you know

 

[MLoyko]

Wow I feel like an idiot for guessing greenfinch now. I never knew that existed.

 

[UtahnBirder]

Larry Lade is right.
Maltese Falcon: Yes I know the Dollarbird exists. It may not be obvious that this riddle is the Dollarbird to everyone. The Dollarbird lives mostly in Australia and surrounding areas (quite a while around), and the board is composed of mostly Englishmen and Americans (With a few Swedes and Brazilians), without much people from those areas. There is no need to make fun on "how easy" it was.

Anyway...
You have to love this bird with its big abnormal-looking beak and the feathers sticking out of it's head.

 

[maltese falcon]

Sorry if I made you feel silly Mloyko.
The only bird that came to mind is a hoopoe and there arent any of those in America

 

[Gentoo]

Personally I like being kept on my toes with occasional non American birds. Especially if it's American and elsewhere.

 

[UtahnBirder]

Not a hoopoe.
Remember: Alaska is part of America

It's alright I had no idea a dollarbird existed, so green reminds me of money so I guessed green finch. I'm assuming that the new hint is the bird with a big beak and large feathers sticking out of it's head?

Tufted Puffin?

 

[UtahnBirder]

Yup Tufted Puffin.

This bird likes to live in the dead leaves of the forest, and has a hyphenated name.

 

[Larry Lade]

Whip-poor-will?

 

[UtahnBirder]

Yep. Whip-poor-will.

Regardless of it's name, this bird actually licks sap. It has the most red of its North American family.

 

[The Falcon]

Red-breasted Sapsucker?

 

[UtahnBirder]

Not breasted...

 

[MLoyko]

Red-naped Sapsucker?

Although the Red-breasted Sapsucker Falcon suggested has much more red on it the the red-naped....I for sure thought they got it.

 

[UtahnBirder]

Oh, I may be wrong but yes Red-Naped is what I was thinking of.

Next:
This bird was introduced from Eurasia, has stripy sides, and is often hunted.

 

[The Lion Cub]

chukar? (or however you spell it)

 

[MLoyko]

Oh, I may be wrong but yes Red-Naped is what I was thinking of.

The Falcon gets that one, and Cub...you spelled it right :t: And I believe got it right not only becuse it makes sense but it is Utahnbirder's newest lifer too
