Thanks, guys! I changed a few of these just a bit. Gangerh, halcyon is a great one--I'd forgotten about that word's connection with the kingfisher. :-)
halcyon days?
shoot a birdie/eagle/albatross?
swallowtail coat?
give someone the bird?
it's chickenfeed?
all lovey-dovey?
loose as a goose?
jaywalking?
ostrich-like?
fly the nest?
guttersnipe?
cuckoo's nest?
chicken feed?
crestfallen?
crane your neck?
crazy as a coot?
jailbird? doing bird?
I hope I don't ruffle your feathers by adding ugly duckling.
Thanks again. :-)
This list is just ducky!
Good ones--thanks!
Dead duck, duck soup, spread eagle, swan song....
And
hen party
?
Yup.
Bill's alright. Can I replace it with
the stork brought the baby
?
Thanks, gangerh. Some were already on the list, but those are good ones. (Except I'll skip the "bill" one, since it's not specifically about a bird's bill.)
Good list idea. Can I suggest
like a sparrow's kneecap
learnt it parrot fashion
up in the crow's nest
like an albatross around my neck
eat like a gannet
may I have the bill, please?
crow's feet (sometimes called laughter lines).
Thanks, s! Added all of them. :-)
I love the name of this list, as well as the contents.
What about eagle-eyed and legal eagle? Play chicken? Naked as a jaybird?
