General names
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections are welcome.
Note on Vietnamese naming: With the exception of ducks and chickens, it is common for Vietnamese bird names to be preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird', although it is normally omitted in Vietnamese bird lists. All bird names, whether they include chim or not, can be preceded by the classifier con, which is used for living creatures.
Vietnam has a range of minivets and cuckoo shrikes, all known as Chim phường chèo in Vietnamese. (In the list, I have uniformly translated Chim phường chèo as 'minivet (bird)'.)
