okay so from my reading of this, it seems like there is a distinct possibility the changing of bird names will not go forward. i believed this was a done deal but apparently a petition was submitted in opposition and they are taking it seriously. i highly recommend showing your support for this change as many birds are named after dead assholes who have no business in the names of our birds or are otherwise well worth changing.

here is the american ornithological society article on the topic: https://americanornithology.org/english-bird-names/aos-pilot-project-to-change-harmful-english-common-bird-names/
