    This isn’t everywhere. In German, many birds have pretty unique names: Amsel, Spatz, Kuckuck, Uhu, Eule and so on.

      Those are blackbird, sparrow, cuckoo, eagle owl, owl. The one in the meme is a Gelbkopf-Schwarzstärling (“yellowhead blackstärling”)

      So, not that different, I’d say.

        You do have a point. Seems like there are quite a few “new” names in each language and then some weirdly descriptive ones for specific birds.

      In Germany we have lots of names that are the descriptions. Stirnlappenbasilisk ist quite descriptive…
