List of Birds That End With O

    1

    Cockatoo

    Cacatuidae (family)

    A loud, intelligent Australasian parrot with a distinctive crest of feathers — including the most affectionate parrot species and some of the most ecologically destructive flocks, with several species critically endangered.

    2

    Cuckoo

    Cuculus canorus (common cuckoo)

    A medium-sized bird famous for its distinctive call (the basis of cuckoo clocks) and brood parasitism — laying eggs in other species' nests to be raised by unwitting foster parents.

    3

    Flamingo

    Phoenicopterus roseus

    A long-legged wading bird whose pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in its food, famous for filter-feeding upside-down and standing on one leg.

    4

    Junco

    Junco hyemalis

    A small, ground-foraging sparrow nicknamed the "snowbird," common in winter across North America with regional color forms so different they were once classified as separate species.

    5

    Vireo

    Vireonidae (family)

    Small olive-green songbirds of American forests known for persistent singing — especially the red-eyed vireo, which holds the record for most songs sung in a day at over 22,000 individual songs.
