We have a wonderfully imaginative collection of  18 definitions, only one of which is from a dictionary. Please vote for any 2 of your choosing, and send your vote directly to the group (not to me) by Tuesday, June 30, at 10:30 AM EDT or the equivalent in your time zone. Good luck to all.

please!

To bird or not to bird, that is the question. I'll have a bob each way:

6: a large and long-lived fig (Ficus religiosa) found chiefly from India
to southeastern Asia that often begins growth as an epiphyte, is
distinguished from the banyan by the absence of prop roots, is sometimes
used as the source of lac, and is considered sacred to followers of
Hinduism and Buddism

11: a small brown warbler of southern Asia, named after the sound of its
alarm call

Vox pop says, with some obvious doubt, 11 & 17. I'll go with the crowdlet.

As you say, it's a "wonderfully imaginative" group of defs. Also confusing,
bewildering, and intimidating. I haven't the faintest notion even where to
begin a process of elimination.

I'll try one of the birds and another creature:

11: a small brown warbler of southern Asia, named after the sound of its
alarm call

and

15: [Southern U.S. colloq.] a grasshopper

With no better ideas, I'll take 4 and 13:
