I found this meme on bird names...
I think this meme was cut off at the bottom because right away I thought of the Tufted Titmouse. Here are some more...
Satanic Nightjar
Blue Footed Boobies
Little Bustard
Penduline Tit
Fluffy-Backed Tit-Babbler
Sombre Tit
European Shag
Common Loon
Red-Rumped Bush-Tyrant
Swallow
Are there more? I'm sure someone knows a few more.

Bird names are just plain weird. Not least the Greater and Lesser varieties...
Sue - I found this one for you... Tufted tit-tyrant 😄
Here's another place to look...

Always reminds me of the couple who married, one a psychiatrist and the other a proctologist, opened their office together and hung out their sign, Loons and Moons.
I read "Satanic Nightjar" as "Satanic Nutjob" and thought it referred to Der Furor. Then I saw the "Common Loon" and thought it deserved designation as the official bird of the GOP.
I prefer the Uncommon Loon.
Simmons - Both professions need a sense of humor.
Bill - Probably an insult to the bird.
Deb - Are you talking about the brewery in Chicago?
This has a couple that you missed: https://www.boredpanda.com/bird-species-silly-names/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
Very cool little gambit today Mike. Thank you
I guess having a Great Tit is better than having a Blue Tit! 🤔
Kathy - That's the URL where I picked up a few more names. I was trying to stick with naughty names.
Cloudia - Your welcome (1)
CC - It would seem to be a lot warmer for sure.
