pea-birdn.

Brit.

/ˈpiːˌbəːd/, U.S.

/ˈpiˌbərd/

Forms: 1800s– pea-bird, 1800s– pee-bird.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pea n.², bird n.

Etymology: < pea n.² + bird n. In sense 1, apparently imitative of the bird's call (although compare quot. 1942 at sense 1). Used in sense 2 with reference to the bird's preferred food (compare quot. 1872 at sense 2).With sense 1 compare the following English regional names for the wryneck: pay-pay (Surrey), pee-pee, peel-bird (both from Sussex), and peet bird (Somerset).

Now rare.

1. The northern wryneck, Jynx torquilla. Now English regional (southern).
