One wonders what the new names will be.
They are doing it because some birds were named after people who owned slaves, or were white supremacists, or robbed indigenous graves.

The most famous person is John James Audubon. He was supposed to have been a racist so the Audubon’s shearwater and the Audubon’s oriole will be dropping his name.

This is all part of structural racism. This this should put an end to the world’s racial problems!
