  1. OA and also Fifth and Firth Hydrocarbon. I was amused to find Idiocy and Brainfart in a single puzzle. Couldn’t get Hybrid to work, nor Handcraft(y).
    The Birdman of LB has been missing in action for a while, but I’ll throw Antbird, Catbird and Friarbird out there to start, plus Finch and Chaffinch (double letter exception).

    1. Apologies, Bernie, I didn’t realize anybody cared anymore! Here’s the complete list for today:

      🐦 ANI, RIO BRANCO ANTBIRD, ARACARI, CARACARA, CARIB, CATBIRD, CHAT, CONDOR, FINCH, FRIARBIRD, IBON, INCA, IORA, ROBIN, ROBIN-CHAT, TODY, 🐦 🐦 BOOBY, CHAFFINCH, CHIFFCHAFF, COOT, NODDY.

      RAINBIRD isn’t an actual bird, but I believe it is a lawn-sprinkler company (or maybe it is two words).

      1. Thank you, DW! I get a big kick out of birds’ frequently onomatopoeic names.
        I was thrilled to see a red-eared grebe a few days back, sunning itself on a rock in a pond.

    1. TACHYCARDIAC* – CARBONIFY works, now that I think of it. I tried both TACHYCARDIA and CARBONIFY, but didn’t think to try this riff until just now.

  2. Never saw hydrocarbon (!) and had to settle for:

    – Handcraft Toyboy Yin, or Handcrafty Yob Bin. Spent (appropriately) far too much time with Brainfart, never getting anywhere 🙁

  3. Birdcraft + thanatocracy are words in my world but not here. Oh well. I’m keeping them. Heaven & hell to me, respectively!

    1. Fraidycat flew through my mind briefly but never tried it.

      Shame on me for being so indifferent, Fraidycat is gorgeous!

    1. BRAINFART did pair up, but only (it seems) with TRACHYTOID. Of course, LB did not recognize the latter. I only produced it after noodling with the Merriam-Webster online dictionary after something I thought was a word wasn’t.

      Evidently, Trachytoid refers something geological. See, I’ve already forgotten.
      Gotta give credit enough for LB recognizing the first word, though.

  4. I sputtered and ran out of gas. No nifty hydrocarbon for me. I wanted “handcraft toybin”, but the second is two words.

    1. Yes! I was so hopeful when I saw TOYBIN, then spent way too long trying to find another pair for HANDCRAFT(Y).

      Was eventually led to OA by noodling off of carbohydrate. 🤷‍♂️
