[ti]Yellow[/ti]Picture Quiz #6

Copied from CJ...

Also, to stop one person from just running away with this, I'm going to introduce the following rules (which may be tweaked in future editions of the contest, depending on how well they work):

1) No more than FIVE guesses per post, and;
2) No more than one post containing guesses per person per 24 hours.
(so, if you make a post containing guesses, you need to wait 24 hours before you can make any more guesses). Any guesses made beyond this limit will not be counted.

Once again, using tools like Google and Wikipedia to help you IS allowed.

You can be general or specific, as long as it's correct.

Oh yeah, all of these birds have something in common. Can you figure it out?

Since it doesn't really fit into any of the categories, it would be a yellow ribbon.

Also, you might want to number the pictures, so that it's easier for people to refer to each one.

Yes please.

Especially with 13, because it's completely unrecognizable. The background is almost the same colour as the bird :( .
