A - Z Game: Everything Related to Birds

Question

I just love these A-Z games and didn't see one on everything having to do with Birds and Bird Watching (Birding): bird names, bird habitat, bird body parts, bird nesting materials, foods birds eat, types of bird feeders, accessories used with bird feeders, items used to attract birds to your yard, categories of birds (such as predators, flightless, waterfowl, etc.), enemies/predators of birds, birding lodges, birding equipment (such as binoculars, etc.), birding tours, popular or famous birding areas, bird listing etc.

So .....here we go!

I will start with a Spanish word that begins with "A", then you post a Spanish word that starts with "B", then "C" and so on. Please include an English translation of your Spanish word.

My word:

A = (el) alpiste = birdseed

Be sure to click on N E W E S T before posting your answer.

Have fun!
