The following are cryptic clues to birds. I haven't been given numbers of letters in answers I'm afraid:

1) Flier
2) Vegetable stuck in a weather vane
3) Flown over the Atlantic for Christmas
4) Half a town in Yorkshire
5) A drinking smile
6) Jonathon pots and comments

3 = Turkey ??
6) Swift ?? (as in Jonathan Swift)
1. Kite
#2 peacock ?
Question Author
I'd actually considered both Turkey and Swift. However, I have Turkey for another answer (I believe Canadian Goose may be better) and I don't see how Swifts 'pots and comments.'
4 = Swallow. Swallownest is a small town near Rotherham.
Jonathon pots and comments..I would say ...Parrot
The clue alludes to pots (snooker and commentary which John Parrot does)
Careful with 4 - swallow is not half of Swallownest... (sorry I can't siggest anything better!).
4. There's a Yorks town called Weaverthorpe: so weaver?
Question Author
Obviously no offence intended to BriWhite, but I'm putting weaver. An exact half and I already have swallow in an eating clue.
5. Peregrine ? (perry/grin)
Question Author
More a subset of a type but I'll probs go with it.
