I'm stuck with these last few cryptic bird clues for 'How well do you know your birds?'

1. Bone on its knees
2. Try to get attention at this brown bird's house
3. A blazing start
4. Father is way past his best

Many thanks!

3. could be PHOENIX if mythical birds are allowed.
Question Author
We wondered about that, but all the other birds on the list are real, so are assuming that's not it.
3) Flamingo.
Blazing = Flaming.
Start = Go.
Question Author
Brilliant. Thanks very much. Any luck with the others?!
1) Osprey.
Latin for bone = OS
On it's knees = pray.

Look at No 10.
Sorry it's No 20.
Long shot for No 4.......Parrot.
Father = Pa.
Past it's best = Rot.
could 2 be Owl,
H owl?
2 raptor?
Question Author
Owl was the answer to another question, so unlikely. Delighted with Osprey, thank you. Also pleased with raptor, had slowly come to that one too when changing my thinking about the clues - 'rapt' attention!
