Cock-of-the-rock — sounds like a tavern name invented by a teenager. Dickcissel — often cited as the funniest North American bird name. "Dick" was historically a common nickname for a male bird. Bush Thick-knee — not penis-related, but frequently gets laughs. Rufous-naped Lark — harmless, but "rufous-naped" is often misread at a glance. Shag — in British English, perfectly normal; elsewhere, not so much. Cockatoo — contains "cock," though the name comes from Malay, not English. Woodcock — another classic. Black-cockatoo and other cockatoos — bonus points for stacking "cock" into longer names. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social 2 points 5 months ago Penis McPeniswoodchuck permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 5 months ago https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-cockaded_Woodpecker/id permalink fedilink source parent
