Birds being renamed because feelings, DEI and stuff

[chuter]

I guess some people can't deal with bird names, so, gotta change 'em.

A new rule from the American Ornithological Society (AOS) will cause reverberations around the birding world, and create new names for hundreds of species. The society says it has engaged in conversations with the community of birders, and will focus on first renaming the 70 to 80 species in the US and Canada that are named after people – or have names deemed offensive or exclusionary. Their efforts will start in 2024.

Anything to chip away at our culture and institutions.
You think maybe some young college educated woke pukes are in the American Ornithological Society?
I bet they really think they're making the world a better place.
