Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mutton n., bird n.

Etymology: < mutton n. + bird n., apparently from the similarity of the bird's meat to mutton when cooked (compare e.g. quots. 1898 and 1952 at sense 1).

Chiefly Australian and New Zealand.

1. Any of various shearwaters and petrels of the southern oceans whose flesh when cooked is said to resemble mutton in flavour; esp. (a) either of two birds of the genus Puffinus, (in New Zealand) the sooty shearwater, P. griseus, and (in Australia) the short-tailed shearwater P. tenuirostris; (b) an Antarctic petrel of the genus Pterodroma.
