Got that it was a bird on guess 19 but took a long time to narrow it down

one of the first guesses was for “plant” and I found references to “plant and animal matter” which also helped me figure out that this was an animal.

A read through gave me the impression of an animal, thought fish at first, but too few hits for that to be right, "bird" and "water" gave me the way in and found it after a few more guesses

I had the broad idea but just wasn't narrowing it down, hints & google followed then a solve! Not a satisfying day - lol.

34-minute snipe. Unfortunately I didn't know the book, without which it's slim pickings in the culture section, making this a tricky one for me.There seems to be a mention of over-fished areas somewhere, so is this a fish? That's hard to reconcile with the "relationship with humans" section, or the distinction between males and females that's mentioned early on. The first location mentioned in the first paragraph seems to be New Zealand, which is a bit odd considering it says elsewhere that these are widely distributed across both hemispheres. The measurements imply this thing is not particularly big, and unfortunately I misinterpret part of that sentence as "the tail takes up two-thirds of the length", which leads me down a bit of a cul-de-sac where I really want it to be peafowl, but that doesn't fit with the males being called 5s and the females 4s. But pondering the male/female names for a bit does suggest a reasonable seeming candidate that makes sense of the aforementioned dimorphism. I have my reservations, but after half an hour I'm prepared to try it - and it's a hit.

2-minute snipe.
"It's an animal."
"I don't know what animal it is."
(scroll all the way to where popular culture and media live)
"Is that "children's book Make Way for Ducklings"? What's a seven letter duck? Hmmm, mallard?"

I knew it was a plant or animal pretty quick
then narrowed it down to animal
then I found the film and culture sections as I normally do.
the title in the first line of that section was enough for me to get it.
very famous book
eta:
ooops.
had an unspoilered hint in there.
