and, if you'll allow for fish names,
- fuck you (Bony-eared assfish)
Me: "i wonder what that Blackbird with red wings that keeps screaming at me is called"
It is a Red-winged Blackbird
I'll be honest that little blue guy is pretty splendid
They really are! My local is the Splendid, over east they have the Superb Fairywren, and there is also a Lovely Fairywren.
also Walter always turns out to have been a

Or the name was something racist that got changed decades later, after the book you've been relying on was printed.
brown bird with red head actually a weird case of linguistic telephone where "head" means "knee". not to be mistaken for the red-headed brownbird (a brown bird, with a red head)
I need a bird scientist to tell me how this thing got the name Pygmy Tyrant. Sounds like a dark souls boss.
My favorite thing about splendid fairywrens has always been that I've never seen a photo of one where it didn't look like they (A) knew about the name and (B) totally agreed
Don't forget 5. "Tweettweettweet"
(Whip-poor-wills, bobwhites, chickadees, etc, that is to say birds named onomatopoeically from their calls)
