Iron Maiden Picture Game

[Forostar]

Sorry, thought it was a different bird, which led to me to The Crimean War. I am not that good with birds.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I am not that good with birds.

Well, you're married, so you must have done something right.

 

[Perun]

rl lol

 

[Forostar]

Saw that coming.

 

[Perun]

Still laughing.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Oh, and @CriedWhenBrucieLeft - it's not Holy Smoke either.

 

[Forostar]

Damn I am better with birds than I thought. Ever heard of the Thrush Nightingale?

Florence Nightingale -> Crimean War -> The Trooper.

So take back the "definitely", Wingman!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Well, since I made the puzzle I know what the intended answer is, and it is definitely not The Trooper. But clever thinking!

However, here's a hint: There is an alternate form of the bird's name.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Is it to do with the genus: Turdus?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Is it to do with the genus: Turdus?

No, more general. But there's a different spelling of the name thrush.

 

[Forostar]

Man, that name was better for a pigeon. Now I get the Holy Smoke guess.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Man, that name was better for a pigeon. Now I get the Holy Smoke guess.

Yip!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

OK, to kick start this day in the game, I'll give away a hint: In parts of the UK, the thrush is also called a throstle.

 

[Perun]

Are we looking for a Maiden song about spinning wool?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Nope. The throstle should lead to an organization whose name contains a word found in the lyrics of a Maiden song.

 

[Perun]

Coming Home.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Coming Home.

Correct!

 

[Perun]

That was a bit obscure.

I can't post pictures right now, so I'm putting it up for grabs.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

And from the answer I guess everyone now understands that it goes like this:

A thrush (or throstle) ---> The Throstles a.k.a. West Bromwich Albion FC ---> To Albion's land ---> Coming Home.

Oh, you English and your knowledge of all things English...
