Oddly enough, other than the "part" thing, the Grey go-away-bird follows that formula. Not so much with the sad flycatcher (who'll be alright, he just needs to process it all), the little bustard or the drab seedeater , who was clearly named by a dude who hates birds 😂

"Drab Seedeater" really was named by an ornithologist who was just god damned done that day, huh?
