I can't believe they call the bird a "Nuthatch" like it's just a living mail slot for snacks and seeds.

Or did the bird choose this name... aspirationally?

We need to give this bird a better name. Look... they look like they are going to cry!

@futurebird ebird rubbing salt in the wound with “well-named.” No, unfortunately named! Angrily named! Someone needs to find the ornithologist who did that and ask if they need a hug.

@futurebird Ah! as an etymonerd, I was excited to read more about "nuthatch..." and it sounds like it might be "hatch" as in "hatchet"!

Calling my cat "meat singularity" isn't as elegant, but is every bit as accurate.

She does sound singular

@faassen

Did you know she has never been fed or petted a SINGLE time in her long 18 year life? It's true. She just told me. Isn't that tragic?

@futurebird
This is indeed tragic, you should make amends and give her an abject apology

@futurebird Bird choose the name "Nutcase" but was overruled.
