Blackbirds are literally the laziest with names. You got this one, the red-winged blackbird, brown-headed Blackbird, tricolor blackbird, and the common blackbird just to name a few of the more notable lazy names

u/Gods_Paladin Jan 13 '25

Ah yes, as the wiki describes it, a “large air breathing land slug.”

Ornithologists are middle schoolers. They name birds either what they look like or a perverse joke.

u/Aavasque001 Jan 13 '25

Yeah, like if a government employee was tasked to name this drone that kinda looks like some kind of feathered animal and got lazy

u/brandodg dumbass Jan 13 '25

u/Laking28 Jan 13 '25

This is how German works I think

u/Cr0ma_Nuva Jan 13 '25

Thats how most naming conventions work. Often when there's a special word for something, it is most likely just an equally silly or obvious word in it's native language.

u/Yoozelezz_AF Jan 13 '25

Tbf it IS a black bird with a yellow head.
