Nol says she recently was visiting some salt marshes this summer and saw a common bird there that's called Wilson's Snipe...

"And I thought, what a terrible name," she says. "I mean, Wilson was the father of modern ornithology in North America, but... "

so they want to rename birds because white men bad but why this one in particular? just seems disrespectful lol

I say allowing these birds to exist is still going to be a reminder of the horrors of white supremacy. You can change the birds name but that doesn't change the years of oppression heaped on society by the birds. I say we rise up and free ourselves from the chains of the aviarchy by embracing the superiority of feline culture!
