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🤦🏻♂️

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.

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🙏🏻

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.

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

So here’s a Brahminy Kite. Rather his postcard. On a windy, cloudy day flying over chilka lake trying to make sure he stays airborne in strong headwinds while looking out for potential prey.

Article 21 of Indian constitution dictates a right to life and personal liberty. Supreme Court later observed that "life" constitutes all life, not just human. So you see, animals in India has a right.
Legally.
