Bird Quiz

They are mangled on the road even before the traffic loses speed.

No numbers given. Answer is a type of bird.

Help appreciated.

roadrunner?

[joanmm]

Excellent- than you!

[bookbinder]

Glad I could help.

I don't think roadrunner is right but I can't think of an alternative answer

Anagram I TRAVEL ERA answer is a bird

[joanmm]

Thanks, Doreenpenman65, I wasn't sure about roadrunner either.
I can't solve your anagram and can't even see where your three words come from.
May I please have a hint?
Thanks!

'mangled' could be an anagram indicator so maybe an anag of road and something!

[joanmm]

Thanks, am sure it is. The previous answer suggested the mangled word was are = era, but am still stuck.
Appreciated!

[elliemay1]

What was the previous answer?

[bobbinwales]

road even could be OD (even letters).
Cant solve it though- theres too many parts of the clue

[joanmm]

Sorry previous answer was anagram
I TRAVEL ERA answer is a bird.
On the road might be travel, I don't understand the I, and I can't solve the anagram!

[elliemay1]

I don't see how that anag is relevant either!

[bobbinwales]

I'm confused. Why should previous clue/answer be relavant and if it might be relavant what was it?

[elliemay1]

I think joan was referring to the answer suggested by doreen @ 21.26

[bobbinwales]

so was i travel era anagram the previous question?

[elliemay1]

I don't think so! I'm lost!

[elliemay1]

Doreen suggested that was the solution to joan's qn

[joanmm]

Thanks elliemae1.

Correct!

[joanmm]

Sorry elliemay1, typo!
