Can you imagine getting named the red-backed fairywren when your fellow bird species are getting named stuff like that?
And then everyone asks you if it's natural, especially if you're a man... oh well. Thanks for the fun fact!
I have way too much fun Shazam-ing birds with the Merlin Bird ID app. Constantly listening for new calls now, it’s like Pokémon hunting IRL.
There is something that looks like a crow but screeches like a gull and merlin hasn't been able to figure it out 😭
Where are you based approximately? Europe/Asia/US/etc? Is the bird fully black? Same size as a crow? Any distinguishing information might help!

Sure, they're lovely, superb...splendid even. But they're not as magnificent as some other birds.
This shit rules. Like this is "fuck you" cool
