If they're still unsolved tomorrow, I'll have another chance to improve on my current score of... erm... zero!

And I think 10 is supposed to be Plum-Faced Lorikeet, but it looks like you've lost your "P" and acquired an extra "D".

(Been there... done that!!!)

Great set Michael... thanks!

Oh no! :eek!: I was afraid something like that would happen! I tried to check each one to make sure that I didn't miss anything. But I guess I missed that one!

It is supposed to be Plum-faced Lorikeet, you guessed it. Congratulations!

And you got the others, too. I was looking through a list of Australian trees, and saw the 'wattle trees'. I knew there were 'wattlebirds' so I decided that it was a good match.

I have a question for you. Are there any rules when solving anagrams? I got to thinking, am I allowed to use a list to help me find the bird? I looked back in the Fun Quiz forum but couldn't find any.

Thanks! And Good job!

Michael
