Stream of consciousness, I once busted out a corvid joke during COVID in a company meeting when a dude was complaining about crows calling in the background… it fell flat AF.

I’m assuming that someone didn’t like Robins and this naming scheme was revenge?
I am afraid it just means migratory thrush. And the latin name for thrushes (turdus) was assigned by a Swede. So how it sounds in English is just a happy little accident.

Probably some scientist was pooped on by a Robin.
