Thanks everyone for your help.
As much as i love Monty Python i can't get past the fact that "Ex" and "Extinct" all start with the letter E! Not a very good example as a spelling learning tool. My sister who is a teacher would shoot me! I think it will have to be the scientific name for Regent Honeyeater. At least i have some photos of that bird too. I have surprisingly few images of the Xauntus's Murrelet in my collection!! :))

Thanks again everyone!
Cheers
Dave

eX-parrot gets my vote.  Maybe teach her to say the whole dead parrot
sketch too (when she can talk).

David Stowe beat me to it:  Monty Python's "ex-parrot" (Norwegian
Blue.)

The use of "X" for "extinct" would be a useful learning tool;
