I follow nest box live on facebook due to my interest in Bluebirds.
If you had slaves, fought on the Confederate side, fought in Indian Wars, had an English name... and there is a Bird with your name attached to it it will probably be changed. Really.

How will they change all the books that are out there that have a picture associated with a bird? How will they change all the historical data out there linking that bird to that name? I have a complete set of Peterson Field Guides. What will happen to those? Woke idiots is what they are.

Sadly the Dollars are not a consideration I am sure. Maybe there will be a cross reference to the books private possession.

We will benefit just knowing this travesty is being corrected. SARCASM

The next time I go to visit my sister I need to swing by Stone Mt. before it is blasted down. Also plan a trip to Mt Rushmore. Lincoln will be lonely up there when the woke idiot's get done. I was thinking Lincoln and TR but TR's mothers family had slaves.

In the Link they mentioned the group controls South America too. They will also under go revisions.
