My best one....

A Grey Lourie is now a Grey Go-Away Bird!!!! :)^ NEVER!!!! It will always be a lourie to me!!

[Richprins]

What a descriptive name!

It has a grey back and warbles in the bush!

This time the CIA/FBI didn't even make an effort in their haste to implement the nomanocide policy...they went straight to the Latin name...



So now Grey-backed Cameroptera! :roll:

What must a child think when you are trying to teach him or her names in the bush?

FBI: "Cameroptera!"
Child: "Bless you!:? "

[Richprins]

Welcome to the resistance, Flutterby!

[Richprins]

Now it is a "Spurfowl"!!!???

What the hell is a spurfowl?

They were obviously too drunk to spell the Latin name, and came up with a "spur of the moment" decision, giggled about it and patented the name! :roll:

Or the whole process is being sponsored by a South African Restaurant franchise!

I give up!

[Dewi]

Good news RP,

They are going to change the names back to the old ones as soon as the next........



comes around.

[Flutterby]

Or when this happens....



Whichever comes first!! -O -O -O

[Richprins]

Never mind!

We shall fight against the regime, and those against us will be first up against the wall!

[Dewi]

Wow, two references to Floyd one after the other - Pigs on the Wing and The Wall.

Whatever happened to good old Fan-tailed Warbler?

We now have a bird with severe medical problems - Zitting Cisticola -O
