Can anyone help me with a few of these? All birds, but no number of letters given.

1. This bird knows a thing or two.
9. Femail jet.
14. Bit of an edge.
18. Does this bird know the words?
23. Aerial antic.
24. They really shouldn't sing in this tunnel.
25. Raise the entrance.
26. Look out, it may be a trap.

I can't get my head round the setter's way of thinking, I'm afraid.

Thanks very much to all of you for your answers. I am sorry I couldn't respond sooner. Very grateful - my brain just wasn't working in the right way.
