The American Ornithological Society, which is responsible for standardizing English bird names across the Americas, announced plans Wednesday to ditch any bird classifications derived from a person’s name, instead identifying them by their physical traits or their habitats. The naming purge will likely affect up to 80 different species in the US and Canada, though the process is only in the early stages.The AOS’s decision comes after years of mounting pressure from the bird-watching, or birding, community to revoke the recognition of racist historical figures whose names were bestowed upon the fowl.
The initiative will continue for “months and years,” the AOS said, with up to 260 birds due to be reviewed across the Americas and associated islands.
