The problem with all this is that basically, most of you are suggesting that the rules of English should be ignored because you want them to be, because you like birds. Capital letters are for proper nouns and the beginnings of sentences - end of.
Capitalizing might disambiguate a badly written sentence, but hey, so does re-writing the sentence (or choosing different words), and the idea that it generates a class system in birds is frankly, hilarious.
Think of it this way - regardless of how mad keen on furniture I was, there's no way anyone on this forum would condone the following:
I walked through the Door, hung my umbrella on the Hatstand and placed my car keys on the Table. After grabbing a beer from the Fridge, I sat on the Sofa and put my feet up on the arm of the Chair.
If people want to capitalise birds that's fine, especially here, and in trip reports etc. But it's not right!
