Several birds that live in and flutter around Pennsylvania could have new names in the near future.

The American Ornithological Society announced Nov. 1 that it will rename North American birds to dissociate the animals from namesakes with problematic pasts. Several birds, such as the Townsend’s warbler and solitaire, are named after racists.

Peter Saenger, an ornithologist with Muhlenberg College in Allentown, told PA Local the project could affect over a dozen birds that breed in, migrate to, or visit Pennsylvania.

The American Ornithological Society expects to assess about 80 names next year. Instead of judging on a case-by-case basis, the AOS said it will review all birds with human names. It plans to convene a committee that will solicit input from both the public and experts from various scientific fields.

This is all the consequence of people have too much idle time on their hands. Its the lingering result of people who have too long lived under a peace they had no part in creating. They now expect it as if they're entitled to it.

They are dedicated bird watchers, did you think they were going to debate macro economics? That’s what they do, spend their lives focused on birds

Is it difficult to study a bird because of the name they have? Is our restaurant called Cooper's Hawk going to have to change their name so that people are comfortable going there?

Our taxes are used for their grant money.

The grants don't go up or down in relation to this nonsense. If they want to waste their time and money on irrevocably unimportant nonsense I just can't get myself to care about it. I literally could not care any less about it. Now if we were talking about taking away grants to folks who want to rename birds or something I'd be all for it, but then I don't think we should give money away so readily regardless. However we aren't talking about that. We are talking about some bird group who is wasting time and energy renaming birds so the birds won't be insulted or something because some guy who loved birds was also a racist... anyway, I just don't care.

I just thought it was stupid.

Well, that's true. So was giving money to those idiots who tested how fast different brands of ketchup ran from glass bottles.

No doubt about that. The worst part about it is they probably paid themselves out of the grant.
