What does BIRDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Birdy describes something suggestive of a bird or a place that is thick with birds, especially game birds.
A hunter might call a stretch of cover birdy because pheasants or grouse keep flushing out of it. The word can also describe a quality that recalls a bird itself, such as a quick, birdy way of turning the head. It is a plain adjective built from bird plus the ending y, unlike the golf term birdie, which is spelled and pronounced differently.
