    Explanation: If you remove the first letters (behead) of some of the grid entries, they become types of birds: 1A, 16A, 20A, 25A, 26A, 35A, 40A, 46A, 49A, 57A, 59A, 64A. The first letters of these new “bird” words spell, in order, what they have become- A LETTER SHORT

      Wow, very well done!
