The shakes from alcohol can change from mild tremors to massive convulsions. This extreme form of uncontrollable body movement is a symptom of a severe type of alcohol withdrawal called delirium tremens that can cause seizures and even death. Although delirium tremens manifests in only about 5 percent of the individuals in withdrawal, the onset of the shakes makes it more likely that an individual will progress to this level of withdrawal and need immediate medical attention.
Mythological names, such as Firebird, Phoenix, Sphinx and Thunderbird, are excellent options for exotic birds. Uncommon mythological bird names include Garuda, Griffin, Habrol, Samjoko, Harpies, Sampatti, Ziz, Jatayu and Bennu. Some people choose to name their birds according to their coloration.
The Sibley/Monroe World List of Bird Names includes 9,702 species that are classified into 146 families. This list is on the Web, thanks to the efforts of Rolf A. de By. It is based on Sibley and Monroes work through 1993, and hence, does not reflect new taxonomic insights or include a few recently discovered species. As of 2005, Don Robertson's Bird Families of the World site lists 218 families, for example.
