It now appears the renaming craze has moved from statues, schools, colleges, highways and who knows what else, to birds. The American Ornithological Society, the group that decides each bird’s moniker, has joined the fray and announced that “it would rename all species honoring people.” It claims that names attached to people “… can be harmful, exclusive and detract from the focus, appreciation or consideration of the birds themselves.”
