What does VERDIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A very small grey songbird of the dry south-west of North America, with a bright yellow head.
The verdin lives in desert scrub of Arizona, Texas and northern Mexico and is related to the tits. It builds a ball-shaped nest of thorny twigs with a small side entrance, and it uses such nests for roosting through the year as well as for breeding. The name comes from a Spanish and French word meaning greenish, though the bird itself is mostly grey.
