      Top contenders:

      Red-cockaded Woodpecker — “cockaded” refers to a ribbon or rosette ornament once worn on hats, not anatomy.

      Cock-of-the-rock — sounds like a tavern name invented by a teenager.

      Dickcissel — often cited as the funniest North American bird name. “Dick” was historically a common nickname for a male bird.

      Bush Thick-knee — not penis-related, but frequently gets laughs.

      Rufous-naped Lark — harmless, but “rufous-naped” is often misread at a glance. Shag — in British English, perfectly normal; elsewhere, not so much.

      Cockatoo — contains “cock,” though the name comes from Malay, not English.

      Woodcock — another classic.

      Black-cockatoo and other cockatoos — bonus points for stacking “cock” into longer names.

  American Bison, too. The repopulation of American bison (often called buffalo) is one of the most successful repopulation efforts in history. The reason you’re able to order buffalo burgers at your local hipster burger joint is because American bison is no longer endangered. The population has come from less than 1000 total bison (all privately owned by a handful of conservationists) to over 400k today.

    I had a Bison meatloaf once that was so good. It’s so much lighter than beef. It was like eating a meat cloud.

    I saw on Ted Turner’s wiki page that he helped with that.

  The irony of all ironies is how similar the words “conservation” and “conservative” are.

    That’s because the root of both is to converse. To keep things the way they are.

    Politics gets in the way of that reality since they don’t actively want to keep it the same, they actually want to regress back to previous times they can exploit personally.

  None of that is worldwide.
