Re no 17, high jinx. I've been thinking hard about this one. A rather tenuous answer could be the wryneck. 'High' seems to suggest a bird anyway. The wryneck is a type of ground feeding woodpecker, coming here on migration in the autumn. I looked it up and it is associated with putting a jinx on something. So a possibility...? Could we please have the animals?
