There's a penguin here, but penguins can't fly, right?
Correct, penguins are flightless birds that swim instead. They're still birds, which is why PENGUIN belongs in the grid alongside the flyers like EAGLE and FALCON.

Bird Word Search
There are nearly ten thousand bird species in the world, and this grid gathers a dozen that span the whole range, from the backyard ROBIN tugging a worm to the FALCON that can dive faster than any other animal on Earth. You'll spot a pink FLAMINGO that owes its color to its diet, a PEACOCK fanning a tail of jeweled eyes, and an OWL that turns its head where its eyes cannot. The hidden names run in several directions, some spelled in reverse, so a birder's patience helps more than speed. Mark your finds by tapping on a phone, or print a copy for a nature walk, with the solved grid alongside for checking. Whatever you trace is solved on your machine and stays with you. It's a handy companion for an ornithology lesson, a birdwatching club, or a quiet morning by the feeder.

FAQ
Common questions
Could I use this to learn backyard birds I might actually see?
Several entries, including ROBIN, SPARROW, CARDINAL, and FINCH, are common feeder visitors across much of North America. Finding them is a fun prompt to go watch for the real thing.
Which bird name is the shortest and easiest to find?
OWL at three letters is the shortest, though short words can paradoxically hide well in a dense grid. FINCH and ROBIN are usually the next quickest to catch.
