The yellow breasted chat was considered to be a wood warbler right?

Day 5 of proving bird names makes no sense.
The naming is all over the place for this fairly common north American warbler. A name is supposed to describe the species/paint anyone a mental picture easily. This species got its name for the shape of the nest it builds🤦🏻‍♂️

Did you just write “I envied what he built” when all he built was a career out of hatred, homophobia, transphobia and racism? You envied that??

First ever record of Pectoral sandpiper from eastern India in its entirety. Photographed off the coast of Bay of Bengal in frazergunj by a team of 5 bird watchers at midday yesterday. Found roaming in a pond a bit away from the actual shore. This is a vagrant for India.

Photograph off Facebook.

Hoping to see this in Kolkata too

Found some people really upset about a death across the world. More than a genocide actually. So it seems to be a good day to post this.

Aesthetically speaking it’s good. But common name of a species is supposed to give one a mental image by being adequately descriptive. That’s the entire reason behind all of these bird names being weird

Day 5 of proving bird names makes no sense.
This is another interesting one. This fairly common Australian robin was called brown flycatcher till 1926. Then its name changed under colonialism supposedly due to its winter call.

Now it’s a mob boss. Or a porn star.

Is Corruption A Bad Thing? Economist Explains YouTube video by Nikhil Kamath

Intellectual and moral rot has set in so deep in this country that a known YouTuber is defending corruption?? What????

These specimens are above and beyond the level of mockery and insults. I refuse to acknowledge them as humans anymore

Yes

Yes, eta ekta anek boro reason

Yes. But there’s a bigger point here. This name hasn’t been revised in all these years.

Day 4 of proving bird names makes no sense.
This is an interesting one. It was supposed to have a hummingbird added to its name at the end. But during some point, someone decided to omit it and that name have stuck since! Like what???

I give up🙏🏻

Definitely not red-bellied woodpecker that’s for sure

Ohh my god. A flycatcher is stuck with a depressing name because someone wrongly identified it instead of pewee. Talk about injustice😔

Day 3 of proving bird names makes no sense. Like what is even this? Can you be any more literal??

I started in uni. I used walk a lot so my roommate suggested why not play pokemon go because he knew I was a pokemon fan. Addicted to it since then but quit around 2years back because it became unplayable

Last dutoi rakhbo🤣

Please dadabhai suggest something nice. I’m absolutely stunned by the names

Saturday was sad. So happy Sunday?
This west Mexican wren is unbothered by the world and permanently off sadness.

Dat 2 of providing further proof that avian naming makes no sense.

I uninstalled at level 44. There were even more kangaskhan if I spoofed

I would’ve traded with you. Got three that way. My roommate used to spoof and caught about 14. Gave me 3 for some oddish😭

They threw appropriateness into the furnace. Also it seems so much like a scam!

Is that fried chicken😭😭

Who determines sadness of flies

Sir “that bird looks kinda sad to let’s name him sad” is a loooong pipeline. Also flycatchers look like this, their entire personality is like this. If you see a grey-headed canary flycatcher in the wild, you would think the same too

Okay then.
Let’s start with this inexplicable name. A Jamaican flycatcher who is forbidden to be happy.
This is one of those names that absolutely shut me up with the suddenness, the fact that it hasn’t been changed since is even more ridiculous.

I would loveeee to know the lore behind its name

I don’t need to do it in insta. I can do it here.
