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.

The Vietnamese name for the parrots is Chim Vẹt. The name Chim Kéc, which typically refers to larger parrots, is the common word for 'parrot' in Central Vietnam. Another name is Chim Ác mỏ ('crow bill bird'?).
