7-letter Birds that contain K

List of 7-letter Birds that contain K

1

Chicken

Gallus gallus domesticus

The most numerous bird on Earth — over 30 billion at any given time — domesticated from the Southeast Asian red junglefowl about 8,000 years ago and now central to every poultry-eating cuisine on Earth.

2

Kestrel

Falco tinnunculus

A small falcon famous for hovering motionless into the wind above roadsides, moorland, and open fields while scanning the ground below for mice, voles, and large insects — one of the most recognizable birds of European and Asian countryside.

3

Peacock

Pavo cristatus

A large pheasant native to South Asia whose male sports a vivid iridescent train and elaborate fan display, the textbook example of sexual selection in evolution.

4

Red Kite

Milvus milvus

Britain's most spectacular conservation success story — a large, elegant, fork-tailed raptor that was reduced to a tiny remnant population of a few dozen birds in Wales by the 1930s and has since been reintroduced across England and Scotland, now numbering thousands; the russet-red body, pale head, and deeply forked tail make it unmistakable in flight.

5

Skylark

Alauda arvensis

A brown farmland bird famous for its sustained, complex hovering song — the male rises vertically to 300 metres and sings continuously for up to an hour, the quintessential sound of the open countryside in Romantic poetry and folk culture.
