Label[edit]
What about the label ornithology for these two meanings? -- Andrew Krizhanovsky 12:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- No, names of birds aren't only (or chiefly) used in ornithology - I put [[Category:Birds]] at the bottom instead. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:46, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Possible missing sense[edit]
Hobson-Jobson says the word was also used in South India for "the finch-lark, Pyrrhalauda grisea, Scopoli", which appears to be the modern ashy-crowned sparrow-lark (Eremopterix griseus). Couldn't find this in a glance through Google Books though. Equinox ◑ 16:43, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
