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!:? "

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!
