List of 7-letter Birds that contain R

    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

    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

    Ostrich

    Struthio camelus

    The world's largest living bird — flightless, two-toed, capable of running at 70 km/h, laying the largest eggs of any bird, and producing meat increasingly farmed across the globe.

    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.

    6

    Sparrow

    Passer domesticus (house sparrow); various Passerellidae species

    A small, brown, ubiquitous songbird — the house sparrow following human settlements globally, the native New World sparrows often confused with it, all unfussy about food and habitat.

    7

    Sunbird

    Nectarinia famosa

    Africa and Asia's answer to the hummingbird — small, fast, and brilliantly iridescent nectar feeders that perch rather than hover, with long curved bills designed for specific flower shapes.

    8

    Vulture

    Cathartes aura

    A widespread New World scavenger with a featherless red head and an extraordinary sense of smell — the only vulture that locates food primarily by odor.

    9

    Warbler

    Parulidae (New World)

    Small, often brightly colored songbirds — the "wood warblers" of the New World contain over 110 dazzling species, while "Old World warblers" comprise different families with different characteristics, both crucial for migration and forest insect control.
