    That’s why people should be concerned. There’s likely an ulterior motive here.

      I’m curious what the ulterior motive for renaming birds could be?

        Obviously it’s about globalist world domination plot

        I have no fucking idea but it only makes sense there would be one, if there truly was no bigotry behind their original names.

      Lol, what? What exactly is concerning about renaming birds to be more descriptive?

      Not everything is a conspiracy, my guy.
