Hello, if you also love the minecraft Axolotl and would like to help preserve their real life equivalents, then you can go to here to adopt your own! You can learn more about the campaign on their website or here in an NPR interview. I've adopted one of my own named Cecil!

Big news for bird names: American Ornithological Society to replace eponyms

AOS intends to change all offensive and eponymous (named after people) common names of birds in the USA and Canada.

Renaming these species will be done with involvement of the public and overseen by a new committee made up of ornithologists, social scientists, and communications and taxonomy experts.

AOS will work with the ornithological societies of Central and South America determine who in these regions will maintain stewardship of common English names.

AOS announcement: https://americanornithology.org/about/english-bird-names-project/american-ornithological-society-council-statement-on-english-bird-names

More information under the cut.

How do bird names work? Scientific names (binomials like Zonotrichia albicollis) are set by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. These names are meant to be unique, unchanging, and universally recognized. Common names, on the other hand, are more fluid. The American Ornithological Society is the recognized authority on English-language common names for North American birds, published in their annual Checklist.

The larger context. Ornithologists name birds after people to commemorate those individuals, but this create problems. What do you do when a common name is racist, or when a bird is named after someone who, frankly, sucked? AOS has changed bird names for both of these reasons already.

In 2000 AOS changes the common name of Clangula hyemalis from a racist word for Native women to Long-tailed Duck (although at the time, they denied it was because of "political correctness")

2021: AOS changes the common name of Rhynchophanes mccownii from McCown's Longspur to Thick-billed Longspur. McCown was a Confederate. The push to rename this bird was a flashpoint in the #birdnames4birds movement.

Why not decide one-by-one? Sometimes it's obvious. For example, John James Audubon was a grave-robbing, slave-owning racist; birds such as Audubon's Oriole and Audubon's Shearwater are named after him. Although the National Audubon Society has voted to keep their name ("won't someone consider the branding"), many chapters have changed their names, e.g. the Chicaco Bird Alliance. Other individuals with birds named after them are less well-known or clear-cut in how much they did or did not suck. Removing all eponyms, rather than debating who sucks on a case-by-case basis, will cut down on the arguments.

How will this actually happen? It's not yet clear. Any free-for-all-poll might result in some Birdy McBirdFaces. No timeline either. But it sounds like this really is happening!

Toco Toucan

(Rhamphastos Toco)

[todaysbird]

the greater bluebonnet is a small parrot found in southeastern and central australia. they are considered a sedentary or resident species and do not migrate. they mostly remain in pairs or congregate in small groups of up to ten; while they are social, they are not as gregarious as some other parrots. they are known to be aggressive and difficult to breed by aviculturists. females are slightly duller than males, with less red on their bellies. they primarily feed on seeds, but are omnivorous and have a varied diet that also includes nectar, fruit, and insects.

“Jurassic park” except it’s realistic and they can’t clone anything older than 1 million years because dna degradation so it’s a bunch of recently extinct birds brought back to life and yet the same amount of chaos carnage and destruction occurs as well as the same amount of wonder because Irony

Remember this park would have, among other things:

- moas

- elephant birds

- dodos & Rodrigues solitaire

- terror birds

- mihirungs

- adzebills

- Sylviornithidae

- great auk

- mobs of passenger pigeons

- moa-nalo

- mole ducks (reverse platypus)

- giant swan

- giant marabou-style storks

- club-winged ibises

- teratorns

- giant Caribbean hawks

- stilt owls, including giant ones

- and so many many passerines
