Glad to see this is the expurgated version (the one without the gannet).

I don't like them; they wet their nests.

The Brown Falcon in Australia has a dark 'teardrop' under it's eye as a distinguishing feature:

Exactly. This isn't a falcon. In addition to the missing teardrop mark this bird has yellow legs and a white iris (Brown falcons have grey legs and brown irides). There are also differences in posture and overall shape but they're harder to describe. But however you look at it, the depicted bird isn't a falcon (and not a Mississippi kite either). It's probably some kind of hawk.

Wow that is what robin look like over in america??? look nothing like they look here, it looks more like a colored blackbird. While european robins look more like em well tits.

Maybe they just took the name and are not in any way related?

Ah looked it up and seems like I am correct the american robin is, like the blackbird a thrush (turdidae family). So in the same family. The european robin is an old world flycatcher (Muscicapidae)

The American Robin is a different genus entirely

The American robin is a true thrush, presumably early European settlers gave it the robin name because of the redbreast connection, despite it not really looking like it's European namesake in any other way.

I got them all except the fake robin. Tried lots of things, but as it clearly isn't a robin, but a red-breasted thrush, didn't try the real answer.

Would we have been better off another bird with a breast word in it's title?

Apparently I missed "Learn what a Kingfisher looks like" Day at school because I had no idea, and a lot of people got that one correct.

Could you accept "Sulid" for the booby? I knew the German name (Toelpel) and just looked it up in the dictionary

I often hear both "rock dove" and "pigeon," but I've never heard one called a "rock pigeon" before. Is it a US term?

Are tits and chickadees the same thing? I kept trying to guess chickadee and was going insane thinking I spelled it wrong.

Could "Shag" be accepted for "Cormorant"?

From Wikipedia, "No consistent distinction exists between cormorants and shags"

Here in New Zealand at least they're all called shags: https://www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/black-shag

Do comments get deleted off?

I could have sworn that this quiz had a picture of a goshawk on it mislabelled as a brown falcon for years. Now it's gone, which is great, but the discussion about the mistake in the comments seems to have been purged too.

Glad to see the “falcon” picture got replaced by something else, although it seems the cormorant picture is wrong now (I think that's new?) – the picture shows a white-breasted cormorant. I think the confusion comes from the fact that it was submitted for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards titled “Great Cormorant Dry-Off”, but I don't think that's supposed to be a species ID since the caption explicitly calls it a white-breasted cormorant.
