  2. Nixon, tinud ka ketang "lyrebird", ayup a ala king Pilipinas, anya dapat ala yang laguu keni. Inalilan mi yang "kanugtug", a inilarawan ng F. Diego Bergano as "a wild duck with a crest like a cock, with meat that is delicious to eat. Martin and swallows belong to the same family of passerine birds, and they are often spoken as one. Pero atin tamung specific lagyu kareng martins--martinis, derived from the Spanish 'martinez'. Deng grebes, coots and loons are duck-like birds belonging to the gallinule families. Since they live in marshes and wetlands, they are often referred to in layman's term as marsh hens. The coot has the most chicken-like features among the 3.
