List of 4-syllable Birds that contain R

    1

    Frigatebird

    Fregata magnificens

    A large, long-winged tropical seabird with a remarkable red throat pouch that males inflate like a balloon during courtship, and a well-earned reputation as an aerial pirate that terrorizes other seabirds into dropping their food.

    2

    Marsh Harrier

    Circus aeruginosus

    Britain's largest harrier — a spectacular bird of prey of reedbeds and marshes, the male has a striking grey wing patch contrasting with russet body and black wingtips; it quartered over British reedbeds for centuries but was driven to extinction by hunting and egg collection, with only one pair breeding by 1971; a successful conservation recovery has produced over 600 pairs today.

    3

    Oystercatcher

    Haematopus ostralegus

    A boldly pied coastal wader with a long, bright orange bill used as a hammer and lever to open bivalves — conspicuous, loud, and one of the most recognisable shorebirds of rocky coastlines worldwide.

    4

    Pied Flycatcher

    Ficedula hypoleuca

    The black-and-white summer visitor of ancient oak woods — the male pied flycatcher is crisply black above and white below with a bold white forehead patch; the female is brown and white; they arrive from West Africa in late April to breed in old oak trees and nest boxes, making sallying flights to catch insects and raising a brood before departing in late summer.

    5

    Umbrellabird

    Cephalopterus ornatus

    A large black tropical bird of South American rainforests, distinguished by an umbrella-like crest of feathers above its head and a long, retractable, throat-feathered wattle that males inflate during courtship displays.

    6

    Yellowhammer

    Emberiza citrinella

    A bright yellow European bunting whose distinctive song is often transcribed as "a little bit of bread and no cheeeese" — a familiar farmland bird in the British Isles, declining with the loss of mixed agriculture.
