periodictabledancer Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Nothing wrong with slaver statues being ditched in the briny but this Audobon mularkey is ridiculous. Why can't they just acknowledge the guy's past and let people decide accordingly. As for renaming the bursd..... I will always be a fan of Great Tits.

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Maybe the birds 🐦 don't want to be called another name, maybe sparrows don't want to be called by another name and will find it offensive, shocking behaviour from the US ornithological society ( maybe they could change their name to people with too much time on their hands society) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would require the American public to have a collective sense of humour. Don't forget that there's possibly a third or more of them think that Donald Trump is the best person to be their president - and they're deadly serious about that.

Jim_Duncan Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 In about fifty years they’ll trawl through the digital lives of those who made these changes, discover one of them posted something on Facebook that, by the standards they live by then, doesn’t cut the mustard, and end up renaming the birds again.
