Rainbow Quiz Watch The Birdie

[NeilR]

Re number 60, “but the winger is in demand for international (4)”, I have an answer which is a simple hidden word. I can’t believe it’s right though because a) there isn’t an indicator that the answer is hidden in one of the words and b) it means that the words “demand for”are completely redundant. So, do I have the wrong answer or is it just a very poorly written clue?

[mallyh]

i would go with the bird included in the word

[emeritus]

If the question starts ...

What is the previous question and answer I.e 59

[Maxymax464]

Yes I did wonder about kiwi but on balance I went with the bird in the word! I have got 2 answers for 41 - not sure which to go for!

[JJ109]

I would go with it.
The indicator is " is in"
The bird "is in" international - but that doesn't make sense, so the clue is padded a bit more with "demand for"
The bird is in "demand for international"

[bhg481]

If you replace the word "winger" with "answer" I think it makes it more obvious that you are thinking on the right lines.

[NeilR]

Thanks everyone. I’ll stick with my answer and belief that it’s a very poorly written clue then.

Re 41 I've gone with trumpeters being trumpeter swans and got my answer from that

[Maxymax464]

As far as clue 41 goes I am torn between hornbill and swanherd? Both seem to fit the clue completely.

[NeilR]

Re 41 swanherd is a person, not a bird, so I’d go with your other answer.

[Maxymax464]

Yes NeilR but Swanherd contains a birds name and the clue is "One who has charge of the truumpeters perhaps" Really struggling about which to put!

41. Just to add to the confusion, There is a bird called trumpeter hornbill.
Can I have clues for the following:
8. Turning head when surprised, wife ready outside, to kiss lovingly (7)
82. Billy draws over grotesque pottery creatures (5,5)
70. Non- Christians from India leave spectacles in toilet (7)
Thanks

[Maxymax464]

82 is an anagram monkey17

[monkey17]

Thanks Maxymax, got it!

[RAZ1981]

I cannot figure out what the anagram is for 82. Any hints, please?

[Mamyalynne]

1st 2 words in clue.

[NeilR]

And Raz1981, what is the whole quiz about?
