☆ Ornithological Society to Rename Dozens of Birds — and Stop Naming Them After People

Birds in North America will no longer be named after people, the American Ornithological Society announced Wednesday. “There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary and harmful today,” the organization's president, Colleen Handel, said in a statement. “Everyone who loves and cares about birds should be able to enjoy and study them freely.”Rather than review each bird named after a person individually, all such birds will be renamed, the organization announced. She said heated discussions over bird names have been happening within birdwatching communities for the past several years. And a group called Bird Names for Birds sent a petition to the ornithological society urging it to “outline a plan to change harmful common names” of birds.

The study data from amateur stargazers in the nonprofit Globe at Night project was collected in a similar fashion. “The night sky has been, for all the generations before ours, a source of inspiration for art, science, literature,” he said.
