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.

1) Osprey.
Latin for bone = OS
On it's knees = pray.

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!
