Will they change the name of the 'Cockerel'? 

 

Or the 'Blue Tit'?

And boobies.  Boobies are lovely.

Probably change the name of the Kestrel because it has connotations to downtrodden people in Barnsley

Tragically maligned creature.

 

No sucking of goats involved… probably.

Its seems its got nothing to do with the titivating names we know but rather cultural names that have history in colonialism, rather boring.
You cant wipe out history whether you like it or not by changing it's name. People just have to accept what happened and move on from hundreds of years ago where no one alive can be held responsible.

 Eskimo Curlew, Flesh-footed Shearwater, and Inca Dove. Really?
Who paying this woke lot to even have time for this. It's fat balls.
