ornithologist

Although it can be slightly bureaucratic, names can be changed.

Remember how there was that report back in the 1920s from the then Ornithologists' Union? Well, that organization is now BirdLife Australia, and you guessed it, they've got a naming committee.

BirdLife Australia's thinking really carefully about all of these issues at the moment, and the Major Mitchell's cockatoo is actually a species that is under consideration by the Australian Bird Names Committee.

Dr. Ayesha Tulloch is a voluntary member of BirdLife Australia's Research and Conservation Committee, and that committee oversees a number of different working groups.

But yeah, if you like games that have animals or kind of real life nature at the heart of the game, then this absolutely ticks that box in a very big way.

And also, there is a card called the Ornithologist in Ark Nova, for which the image on the card is a great picture of someone looking at birds.

And that someone is Elizabeth Hargreaves, who's designed Wingspan.

So yeah, Ark Nova would be my absolute go-to.

On one election day, Mr. Gibson went to vote, and as he was studying his ticket, there came in at the open door, no one knew whence, a stray pigeon, which flew at once to him and perched upon his shoulder.
