Martin Hurst You should change your name to Housemartin Thomas for this tournament.

Dan Spinks go on then I'll ask. what will you accept as a bird? and what do you mean by 'longest bird'? physical size or number of letters in their name?

Fiona T cor vorders - she's a fit bird :D :D

Fiona T (disclaimer - that was parody, not my personal predilections!)

Martin Thomas Only birds of the feathered variety will be accepted here!

All birds must be valid Apterous words. They can be a specific bird or a member of a group of birds e.g. ratite.

In the tiebreaks longest means most letters.

Matthew Tassier How about extinct birds?
And mythical birds?

Stu Harkness Only playing if Donald is valid.

Martin Thomas Extinct or mythical birds are fine.

Names will not be allowed in general but I will accept Donald as a special case. However your score would be doubled from 0 to 0.

Johnny Canuck B-b-b-bird bird bird. The bird is the word.

Martin Thomas You can all have bird names for the tourney as well. See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18uetDN04HVvKdaHRxrRn3sutCDpXHcEp5z3k7fdB08c/edit?usp=sharing
I hope no-one minds. Alternative suggestions are welcome.

Dan Spinks you didn't really need to change mine as a spink is the common chaffinch but pink footed goose is good too :)

Matthew Tassier Sadly spink is not apto-valid though.

Oxford Dictionaries:
"Did you mean spank?
Did you mean spunk?"

Also, maybe I should be Matthew Tattler?

Adam Dexter Go on then - sounds a hoot
