Ailuroedus

Ailuroedus is a genus of birds in the bowerbird family, Ptilonorhynchidae, native to forests in Australia and New Guinea. The common name, catbird, refers to these species' "wailing cat-like calls".[1] The scientific name Ailuroedus is derived from the Greek 'ailouros', a cat, and 'eidos', species.[2]

Martin Irestedt and colleagues examined the species in detail morphologically and genetically in a 2016 paper, leading to the recognition of seven new species to take the total from three to ten species.[3]

Species
gollark: ↑
gollark: Oh, maybe have some sort of stupid name generator too.
gollark: Well, you can't just select random categories, you would need to actually program support for each of them.
gollark: Maybe just have a few hardcoded "esolang types" - symbol-y, stack-based, register machines, whatever.
gollark: But not actual original interesting ideas.
