Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. Some time after the Spanish encounter with the Turkey, birds were brought back to Europe where they were raised and became an important source of food and fancy feathers. Which would be weird.

Given that most birders have to conduct research to determine whether a particular name is offensive ( e.g. , what about Leach’s Storm Petrel? ), it seems likely that the impact of bird names on the inclusiveness of birding and ornithology is small.
