Will they then propose a law to make it illegal to use the banned bird names? Are we to be canceled when we do?

Hah! Funny you should say that! We have a pair of crows that my husband has been feeding and we named the Edgar Allen and Sheryl. Then a second male showed up, and of course we named him Jim!

Good Grief! When is the nonsense going to end?????
It is never going to end -- because too many of these people are making careers out of finding things to change because they are offended by them.

Clark’s Nutcracker and Lewis’s Woodpecker must surely be on the chopping block, owing to their namesakes.

The fact that all these silly irrelevant things are upsetting to leftists explains why they are always angry and looking so grumpy.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race, make everything about race, and project their own rabid racism onto everyone else.

Long-tailed Ducks are commonly referred to as Oldsquaws. It’s not the formal name, but still hear people refer to this species as such.
