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,

The monkey scientists make no sense though
-
"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'!"

What a beautiful blue. Can you imagine if we all had different coloured ballsacks?

The fun part of the bird name is sometimes hidden in latin. My favourite example is scientific name for the American Robin, Turdus Migratorius.

Oh boy! I know someone named Robin who is going to love to hear that! I'm silly-excited to tell them now. Thank you! I love it!

It's like they studied at the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute.

I live on the east coast. Saw a black bird with red wings. Guess what it's called.

Bird names are usually either 1. a straightforward description 2. absolute nonsense
Or something naughty
The Tufted Shitdick is more suited to a temperate climate but are occasionally spotted as far south as the equator.
