Hope it is OK to start this thread as it is just a general idea to see how many bird surnames we can think of. My contribution is: Swift.

Slightly at a tangent, D’s A-level History teacher told me about an otherwise v bright girl who wrote the name of the Russian leader Josef Starling throughout an entire essay.

Has anyone mentioned Phoenix? I know it's a mythical bird but there is the actor Joaquin Phoenix and I did know someone with the surname Phoenix many years ago
