I can’t believe I’m only just now heron about this thread.
I got all of these except the third one. Not familiar with that species, and didn’t really know what those flags were called.
I don’t get it.

The legislature was discussing conservation measures for various birds. They passed laws protecting the coot and the corn crake without incident. But when a senator proposed setting aside wetlands for the swamphen, sparks flew.
He had touched the third rail.
Lmao, dude, camp robbers are robbin’ Robin’s robin’s things. Hahahahahaha
Uhm, I don’t understand this one… What’s it mean?
Which meaning of “rail” do you understand?
As in the object. Like a rail road or stair well rail.
On an electric rail road, there can be a third rail, which supplies electrical power, the other two, which the train rides on, being ground. Metaphorically, there is a third rail of politics.
“Rail” also refers to part of the order Gruiformes, the other suborder being cranes. Coots, corn crakes, and swamphens are all rails.
Oooh, hahahaha. You’re too smart for me, that’s too deep.
Idk that, thanks for the info.
We need some more puns plover here! Starling now! COME on, we need more! I am knot liking the lack of puns, but gannet even be terned around?
You just did. These are hilarious!
Sorry, I’ve been out robin banks, and all the other people here are on shrike. Knot really, but whatever. I’m not the kingbird of bird puns anyway. I suppose any joke can work in a finch, but these are getting pretty loony.
Oh no. These puns are getting rail-y hard to grasp. I egret not finding this thread earlier. It was a pheasant surprise to find a few funny puns, but the rest are just robin this thread of it’s quail-ity .If this continues,things will go off the rail. Some of these puns are ruff. I wish I had a pun of my own, but without one, I might have to swallow my pride. Oh well, I’ll just have to chicken out of this before I get laughed at.
