Birds are some of this planet's most elegant and magnificent creatures and it only makes sense to honor them with names that suit their striking nature. Bird experts, or ornithologists, are responsible for giving birds the most appropriate names. Are they always successful? No. Are they always creative? Maybe. Do they get tired of naming birds? Looks like it.

Here is a list of a few bird names that seem like the first things that popped up in the ornithologists' minds when they spotted the birds. Twitter user @stu_bot3000 did us a favor by compiling them in one thread and blowing our minds with their bizarreness. We hope you get inspired by these 25 ridiculous bird names and come up with some new creative ones for our feathered friends.
