List of 2-syllable Birds that contain M

    1

    Brambling

    Fringilla montifringilla

    A handsome winter finch from Scandinavian forests that arrives in Britain each autumn — the male has a striking orange-and-black plumage in breeding dress, and in exceptional years when beech mast crops are abundant, millions can gather at single sites across Central Europe in breathtaking communal roosts.

    2

    Emu

    Dromaius novaehollandiae

    Australia's largest native bird and second-largest in the world after the ostrich — a flightless 1.8 m tall ratite that runs up to 50 km/h, drinks daily, and once "lost" a war against Australian troops.

    3

    Macaw

    Ara macao

    A large, brilliantly colored Central and South American parrot with a powerful nutcracking bill and lifelong pair bonds, threatened across most of its range by habitat loss and poaching.

    4

    Magpie

    Pica pica (Eurasian); Cracticus tibicen (Australian — different family)

    A long-tailed black-and-white corvid with iridescent blue-green wing flashes — Eurasian magpies are among the most-studied intelligent birds, while Australian magpies are renowned for spring swooping attacks on humans.

    5

    Marsh Tit

    Poecile palustris

    A small, glossy-capped tit of ancient woodland — easily confused with the willow tit but distinguished by its glossier black cap, cleaner white cheeks, and distinctive 'pitchoo' call; like all tits, the marsh tit is an intelligent, acrobatic forager; it is a food-hoarder, storing thousands of individual seeds in bark crevices and leaf litter, and has an exceptional spatial memory for relocating them.

    6

    Merlin

    Falco columbarius

    Britain's smallest falcon — a fierce, compact little raptor of upland moorland and coasts that hunts small birds with explosive speed, often following close to the ground in low dashing pursuit; the female is streaky brown, the male is blue-grey above with an orange-buff breast, and both are easily overlooked until they erupt in a burst of rapid wingbeats.
