Companion Birds
Last night, my husband and I were watching 'Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot' and I thought it would be fun to do the same thing using species names of our companion birds. Of course, this isn't a true phonetic alphabet and hasn't been tested anywhere other than on my computer, but here goes...
A - Amazon
B - Budgie
C - Canary
D - Ducorp's (Cockatoo)
E - Eclectus
F - Finch
G - Galah
H - Hawk (-Headed Parrot)
I - Iris (Lorikeet)
J - Jardine's
K - Kea
L - Lory
M - Macaw
N - Nanday
O - Ornate (Lorikeet)
P - Parakeet
Q - Quaker
R - Rosella
S - Scarlet (Macaw)
T - Toucan
U - Umbrella (Cockatoo)
V - Vasa (Parrot)
W - Whydah (Finch)
X - Xanthops (part of the scientific name for both the Yellow-Faced Amazon and the Yellow-Faced Parrotlet)
Y - Yellow (Rosella)
