The shit leftards strike again. Apparently, naming birds after humans may "cause pain to people", so they're renaming them. Goodbye Steller's Jay, Cooper's Hawk, etc.

I'm still gonna eat a goddamn bucket of Colonel Harlan Sanders Mutha fricken got damned chicken, with all its 7 spices and shit!!!


Mmmm mmmmmmm mmmm....

They better leave alone my Beloved Red Head Big Breasted Bed Thrasher.

I think I'll just give them the bird.

Im a birder, and during my time in the hobby, they’ve renamed some of the birds already. Before i got into it, i also had no idea how long ago the bird names were given until i studied a particular bird.

Me, being a staunch conservative, this change for the reasons given, are ridiculously laughable. I could see a change for the Hitler heron, Hussein harrier, Sirhan Sirhan stork, etc, but there isn’t anything this obviously bad. It is just another lefty move to further their nutty world view.

I’m not going to cry and stomp about it since there is no one to cry to. Few people bird, and fewer people really care…the birds don’t care.

All I know is when I hear Nuthatches while deer hunting, good things happen. For some reason it has become my good luck charm, the distinctive nasally tweet.


OK, maybe add the ‘Dickcissel’ to the list to rename. I could list others.

Who was that guy that fiddled while Rome burned??

In case anyone was wondering what the previous name of the long-tailed duck was that NPR couldn’t possibly include in their article: oldsquaw duck.

As Rush used to say the left excels at symbolism over substance.

And as Dennis Prager says, “EVERYTHING the Left touches, it destroys.”

While I would not call myself a birder, I enjoy watching birds at our feeders. I make an effort to try a learn the names of the birds that feed in my area. The names will remain the same for me.

Besides, it will take any naming body 10 years of debate and navel gazing to determine the new names.

I saw this last night. Idiots.

I think they even “renamed” a bird heralded after John Audubon of all people.

Oh FFS

At least the Tufted Titmouse will be safe from this. Unless...

My wife always said if I was a bird I would be called a Hairy Chested Nut Scratcher.

quote:

That's because the American Ornithological Society has vowed to change the English names of all bird species currently named after people, along with any other bird names deemed offensive or exclusionary.

^^^ So who put these clowns in charge of "bird names"?

I guess bird-pronouns are next.

How about the 'Urban Thug Hawk', maybe the 'Antifa Falcon'...You know, for equity and stuff!

Wilber Tufted will be spinning in his grave.

What about Woody Wood Pecker? Three phallic references in a row.

When they get around to tree names they can bypass the Tree of Heaven, it’s already known as the Ghetto Palm around here.
