PENGUIN - In cold areas, up to a third of this bird's weight is blubber, and a probable origin of its name is the Latin pinguis, or "fat."
CHAFFINCH - Sometimes called bachelor birds, their scientific name means "unmarried," because they congregate in flocks of one sex.
EAGLE - Benjamin Franklin called it a "bird of bad moral character" and didn't approve of using it for our national seal; he lobbied for the turkey.
DUCK - After mating, drakes molt and a "sitting duck" is one that has lost its feathers and cannot fly.
STARLING - A group of these birds is called a murmuration because they chatter so when they roost in the thousands.
CRANE - If you have a pedigree, you have a pied de grue, or "crane's foot," which was associated with an illustrious lineage.
