When I was in sixth grade, our science teacher had us go bird watching every school day and document the birds we'd saw.

Eleven-year-old me immediately became obsessed with red-breasted nuthatches. To this day, when I see one, I'll yell out to my wife, "Look! A red-breasted nuthatch!"

Wait until you see a Great tit (Parus major)

Or any thrush (Turdus), booby (Sula), crane (Bugeranus, old name).

There are many, many rude-sounding Latin names.
