Ornithological society to rename dozens of birds — and stop naming them after people
Birds in North America will be renamed to avoid any 'harmful' historical associations with people

Add more hyphens. That name should be official. 🙃
Someone give me a two word latin phrase for the equivalent.
Can we get more bird names like ‘Tits’ and ‘Boobies’?
Does this mean we'll need a new version of the game Wingspan?
While this will make things harder for existing birders, it should make learning bird ID easier for new birders. At least some of the time all the birds will have descriptive names (seasonal plumage variations, sexual dimorphism, and age will still complicate things).
