Hi Dee-M-See
It's blackbird - the rest are in the CROW family!
They are all corvids except the blackbird
Question Author
Thank you both for your answers
Question Author
It seems that Blackbird is not the right answer, must be something odd
Why do you say that? The case looks quite strong!
It might be that magpie is the answer, as a magpie is black and white, but all the others have black plumage only.
Gardenmad
gardenmad could well be correct!
a female blackbird isnt black,
True razza and some of the others are various shades of grey, but the strongest contender (corvids = crows) has been ruled out!
Try rook. It's a chess piece
Jackdaws aren't entirely black either -- they have grey heads
Is it the Chough , because all the others nest in trees ?
Magpie The others have only 2 vowels.

Thanks for your answers it seems the answer they were looking for was as razza said the female blackbird isnt black
Thanks for your answers anyway
But that doesnt answer the question - which is the odd one out and why? Why? I'll go mad until I know?
-- answer removed --

The answer to the riddle was that the Blackbird was the odd one out, because the Female Blackbird is Brown where as all the females of the other birds mentioned are Black
But you said earlier that "it seems that blackbird is not the right answer" - see your posting on 19.9.06. These quizzes have somewhat tenuous rules or whatever,, don't they?
...and in any case - the females of all the other birds do not have black feathers - the female magpie has, like the male, black and white feathers. I would be taking that up with the quizmaster, if I were doing the quiz.... Perhaps it's as well I'm not.

The questions come from a radio audience so this maybe why, some of the answers are a bit weird and don't always seem logical. but my, thanks to you all, for your answers, most of the time, you clever lot out there, manage to get the right answer
