Geokichla
The Geokichla thrushes are medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the thrush family, Turdidae. They were traditionally listed in the Zoothera, but studies suggested their placement in another genus. The genus name Geokichla comes from Ancient Greek geo-, "ground-" and kikhle, " thrush".[1]

gollark: Do neon signs have different dialects to newer LED ones?

gollark: I did ancient Greek for 3 years at school because it was better than doing music or something.
gollark: My laptop lets me do convoluted compose key sequences for Greek, but I'm on a phone.
gollark: Anyway, modern compression algorithms are cool and good, so I'd expect a compression ratio around 3 on big enough chunks of message data.
