Types of Birds












Name Nerds main

Robin has long been an established name, while newcomers like Raven and Phoenix are climbing up the charts. I even know a little girl named Hummingbird (no joke)! We don't suggest you name your child Hairy Woodpecker, Bufflehead, or Woodcock, but here are a few bird names that we think could make good names--come on, Ptarmigan sounds kind of like Tara + Megan, Sora is really pretty, and Crake isn't too far off from Blake and Drake!
