Knowing my fondness for birds, one of my darling daughters gave me
a clock with bird "calls." The calls are so unrealistic and
annoying that I have removed the batteries they require. However,
I would like to identify the birds on the face of the clock. So
far I have found 9, with the help of Webster's "Birds of the World"
CD-ROM. However, there are 3 that stump me:
Cyanoptila cyanomelana
Eophona personata
Tarsiger cyanurus.
If anyone with a better list of bird species can provide common
names or, at least, family affiliations, I will be able to tell
my daughter how much fun I had with her present!
