List of 6-letter Birds that contain A

    1

    Avocet

    Recurvirostra avosetta

    Britain's most elegant wader — a black-and-white bird with an extraordinary upturned bill that it swings from side to side through shallow water to catch invertebrates; the symbol of the RSPB, the avocet returned to breed in Suffolk in 1947 after an absence of over 100 years and is now one of British conservation's greatest success stories.

    2

    Canary

    Serinus canaria

    A small yellow finch native to the Canary Islands — domesticated for centuries as a singing pet, used historically in coal mines as gas detectors, and now bred in dozens of color and song varieties.

    3

    Falcon

    Falco peregrinus (peregrine falcon)

    A swift, sharp-winged raptor — including the peregrine, the fastest animal on Earth — with extraordinary diving speeds and a long history as a hunting partner in royal falconry traditions.

    4

    Gannet

    Morus bassanus

    A large white seabird that plunge-dives from 30 meters at 100 km/h to catch fish underwater — with a suite of anatomical adaptations specifically evolved for this extreme impact, including no external nostrils and built-in air-sac cushioning.

    5

    Jacana

    Jacana spinosa

    A tropical wading bird with extraordinarily long toes that distribute its weight across floating vegetation — earning it the nickname "lily-trotter" for its ability to walk on water lilies.

    6

    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.

    7

    Parrot

    Psittacus erithacus

    A medium-sized grey parrot widely regarded as the most cognitively gifted bird species, capable of imitating human speech and demonstrating reasoning beyond simple mimicry.

    8

    Toucan

    Ramphastos toco

    The largest toucan species, a Central and South American fruit-eater with a striking oversized orange bill that serves as a thermal radiator as well as a feeding tool.

    9

    Weaver

    Ploceidae (family)

    Small African songbirds famous for elaborate woven nests — males construct intricate hanging structures, often with multiple chambers and entrances, to attract females and rear young in colonies.
