It started, as many great Internet threads do, on Twitter. A hilarious observation by @stu_bot3000 that certain species of birds may have been named by people that secretly hate birds:

What happened next is what makes the Internet so much fun sometimes. A thread of endless replies that just keep getting better and better until you are absolutely convinced that indeed, many species of birds were clearly named by people who hate them, lol!
