    Because for you, Robin is a generalist name that designates a bird with a red throat (in principle). But you know what is most curious, it is that the name Robin is used in the French nomenclature for the genus Tarsiger. My opinion is that there were no popular name for this genus and that the...

    Reading this, I have a recurring question that often comes to mind: is the English naturalist vocabulary so poor that you have to use the same names under the pretext of stability and simplicity? Among us, I imagine that there are members who are interested in the linguistics and history of...

    Yes, we have a more taxonomic approach because despite this abuse of language, French binomials names are not vernacular, they are scientific (read some works on molluscs, reptiles and amphibians). I'm working on French names and I have ensured, at least as best as I could, that French genera...

    But we can use two types of nomenclature, that of the field with a generalist and simple vocabulary and that of the literature with a more precise vocabulary. Is the English language rich in terms of naturalistic lexicon? E.g. I find it hard to believe that "Warbler" is the only name that exists...

    What name do you use instead, if there are synonyms ?

    I say the opposite, that multiple names are needed for each clade within a diverse group. I give my opinion but finally it doesn't concern us French speakers 😂

    Logical. A single name for a large, very diverse group is irrelevant

    The description of Psittacula eupatria by Vieillot (1917) is the following: [She] has a red beak; the bare skin, which surrounds the eyes, reddish; the whole body olive green, dark above, pale green mixed with yellowish below; the throat and front of the neck inclined to ashen; the coverts...

    However, I remain unsatisfied and this classification has a taste of unfinished business. ☹️

    Of course, we can't do better. Who's up to describe a new genus?

    I think the best classification of Psittaciformes is this one:

    Arinae has potential to become a distinct family (Aridae) unique to the Americas, especially since the separation between Psittacinae and Arinae is as old as the separation between Psittrichasidae and Psittaculidae
