List of 2-syllable Birds that start with B

    1

    Bittern

    Botaurus stellaris

    A secretive, booming heron of reed beds — the male's low, foghorn-like boom carries for kilometres across marshes on still spring nights and is one of the most extraordinary sounds in British wildlife; the bittern's streaked brown plumage makes it almost impossible to spot even when standing upright among reeds.

    2

    Blue Jay

    Cyanocitta cristata

    A bold, intelligent corvid with vivid blue, white, and black plumage native to eastern North America, a notorious mimic that imitates hawks to scare other birds.

    3

    Bluebird

    Sialia sialis (Eastern); Sialia mexicana (Western); Sialia currucoides (Mountain)

    A small bright-blue thrush native to North America — a beloved garden bird whose population was rescued from near-collapse in the mid-1900s through one of America's most successful citizen-science conservation campaigns.

    4

    Booby

    Sula nebouxii

    A large, torpedo-shaped seabird that hunts by plunge-diving from heights of 30 metres — remarkable for its sky-blue or bright red feet used in elaborate courtship displays, and for colonial nesting on remote islands.

    5

    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.

    6

    Bunting

    Emberiza citrinella

    A family of small, seed-eating songbirds found across Eurasia and the Americas — males are among the most brilliantly coloured birds of temperate regions, with deep blues, reds, and purples unmatched by larger species.
