Bird names are usually either 1. a straightforward description 2. absolute nonsense
Or something naughty
Ummh, Platypus
Great Tits
The Tufted Shitdick is more suited to a temperate climate but are occasionally spotted as far south as the equator.
The Spotted Stumpchode tends to migrate a week or two later than similar birds.
The Crested Twatswatter is one of the few bird species that migrates to Florida come wintertime.
A red bellied woodpecker.
Why?
Aw, come on…
Only in ornithology can you say,
“Look at that pair of great tits!”
“That’s a huge pecker!”
“That’s a nice looking cock!”
And “Look at all the boobies!”
And literally nobody can get mad…
I dunno, boobies seem to not like being looked at,

Don’t tell my wife!

“You CANNOT name this species the ‘greater blue-balled ding-dong monkey’. Not least because we will not let you name something else the ‘lesser blue-balled ding-dong monkey’!”
I wonder how many people went to go see if there was a so-named monkey.
All I’m gonna say, is that’s what private tabs, and a coworker’s unlocked computer is for…(sadly this will have to wait until Monday.)
I have seen one IRL in Kenya and afterwards googled it
they got it wrong, should have been called: the blue balled vervet monkey.
