I'm not sure were to post this. It's about birds but also fun.

I want to start The ABC's of birds.
People start posting.
At first I start with the A
The next one has to send a birdname starting with a B.
The next one with a C etc
You can only post one name in one post and you have to wait for someone else before you send the next one. I hope lots of people will be involved.
So I will start
