Those of you who took the Spanish Easy Review quiz series, you will notice that the title of this quiz sounds very familiar. That is because you were first introduced to some of these feathery friends back in that series. Now that you are in the Spanish Difficult Review quiz series it is time to add to that earlier list of these amazing creatures!
These creatures are, of course, birds, and bird watching is a huge hobby around the world. You will need a good pair of binoculars to find some of them, however. Whether or not you are into locating birds, once you do start, you will see how quickly it can become a habit of trying to identify them. Now you can even identify them in two different languages! So let’s look as some of these amazing wonders and items that might be associated with them, as they are spoke in Spanish!

Did you notice something different with the Spanish word for 'penguin'? It is 'pingüino'. Notice that above the 'u' there are two dots. This is another type of accent mark used in Spanish. It is not seen often and in 'American Spanish' it is generally not used. However, you should be aware that in certain words, you may see it. Therefore, for this quiz series, you will need to remember to spell the word with the two dots above the 'u'.
Now let’s fly right on over to the quiz section. There are ten sentences with a different bird mentioned in each sentence. From the answers given, see if you can determine which Spanish word matches the all capitalized bird or which word describes birds.
