Two I made earlier

When I'm not thinking about birds, I'm usually thinking about cryptic crosswords. Sometimes I combine the two and attempt to make up crossword clues about birds. Such as:

1. Songbird allowed around tavern (6)

and

2. Girl astride water-bird (5)

Answers in an email to madaboutthebird@gmail.com and if they are correct we will give you a prize. If you happen to have any more bird-themed clues, please send them our way and perhaps one day t.w.w. will combine all the clues and make a proper bird crossword. This is my lifelong ambition but I fully expect it to be a decade or more before it comes to fruition, so don't hold your breath.
