General

The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Malaysian names are now being updated. For consistency, Vietnamese bird names (except for ducks and chickens) are preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird'. Ornithological lists mostly omit this as understood. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

The Hoopoe is known as the Chim Đầu rìu 'hatchet-head (bird)' (or 'axe-head (bird)').

According to the Vietnamese English dictionary of Bui Phung (1996), another word for 'hoopoe' is Chim rẻ quạt, meaning 'fan-spoke bird', a reference to the bird's distinctive crown. Officially, however, Chim rẻ quạt is applied to the fantails.
