I had one in my yard just the other day.  I don't usually see them this late in the season.  It was a nice surprise.

Hint: the 4th item contains a big hint.



I'm probably waaaayyyy off base...
They can all be called a cock in some form?
a basilisk can be called a cockerel
a goffin is a cockatoo
a cockle mollusk
etc.

edited to add...
cock of the woods for the woodpecker
rooster...cock
cocker spaniel

The woodpecker connection took me a little time to find.

Cool answer, Aileen!

<edited cause my random guess was wrong>

Smart lady, Aileen! (Brains are sexy.)

A cockatrice is another word for basilisk.

Next!

Petruchio -- That's definitely the funniest commonality we've had yet!

Aileen -- You go, girl! Got a quartet for us?

I'm brain dead so someone else can come up with a quartet (if I'm correct with the penguin answer).
