After typing in the bird's English names I selected 'More Filters' &
choose 'Foraging or Feeding' from the drop down menu.
Now this will not get all of them. I believe that the photographer would
have to select that behavior when submitting. Otherwise it will
just be lumped in with all the others by not selecting anything.

I didn't spend a lot of time searching, just chose the first ones that
seemed pertinent.
