Dec 3 Long-billed black cockatoo (Zanda baudinii)

AKA Baudin's cockatoo (after a French explorer). There’s been a movement away from such eponymous names as a rejection of colonialism (follow for more). 1/

I've not really had the time or energy to do more biographies lately, though I'm hoping to get back on that soon.

That said, I realised I missed a prime opportunity to be a massive nerd...

1 bird down, 149 left to go. Dedicated a bird doodle in my sketchbook to the Thick-billed Longspur! Sincerely hope this isn’t the last name change I see in my lifetime 🕊

Today in John Bachman was an absolutely vile shit human.

A minister and naturalist, he used his pulpit to argue that enslaving people was totally fine and even the right thing to do, making justifications in both science and religion.
