Eurasian bullfinch The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch ("Pyrrhula pyrrhula") is a small passerine bird in the finch family, Fringillidae. In Anglophone Europe it is known simply as bullfinch, as it is the original bird to bear the name bullfinch. The Eurasian bullfinch was listed in 1758 by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his "Systema Naturae" under the binomial name "Loxia pyrrhula". The Latin word "pyrrhula" comes from the Greek "πυρρός" (a flame-coloured bird, from πυρρός flame coloured, from "πυρ" fire : Pyrrha), a 'worm eating bird' that is mentioned

"Archaeopteryx" specimen, "Aurornis" is found to be an anchiornithid. The classification of "A. xui" as a bird is somewhat contentious, however, due to the various differing definitions of the word "bird". Recent discoveries "[emphasize] how grey the dividing line is between birds and [non-avian] dinosaurs", says Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum in London. "There's such a gradation in features between them that it's very difficult to tell them apart ... ["Aurornis xui"] is certainly an older member of the bird lineage than "Archaeopteryx", and it's fair to call it a very primitive bird. But what you call a

"bird" modifies this meaning and is therefore dependent on "song". "Birdsong" is a kind of song, not a kind of bird. Conversely, a "songbird" is a type of bird since the stem "bird" is the head in this compound. The heads of phrases can often be identified by way of constituency tests. For instance, substituting a single word in place of the phrase "big red dog" requires the substitute to be a noun (or pronoun), not an adjective. Many theories of syntax represent heads by means of tree structures. These trees tend to be organized in terms of one of

Australornis Australornis (Latin: "southern bird") is a genus of extinct seabird discovered in New Zealand. It lived in the Paleocene epoch, 60.5 to 61.6 million years ago (Ma). The type species name originates from "australis", Latin for "southern", and "ornis", the Greek word for "bird", and "lovei" commemorates Leigh Love, an amateur paleontologist who discovered it. "Australornis" is one of the oldest flying seabirds. It is also the first non-sphenisciform (penguins and allies) bird fossil discovered from New Zealand for that age. The fossil originates from an era just after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 65 million years ago. The features

Bird strike A bird strike—sometimes called birdstrike, bird ingestion (for an engine), bird hit, or bird aircraft strike hazard (BASH)—is a collision between an airborne animal (usually a bird or bat) and a manmade vehicle, especially an aircraft. The term is also used for bird deaths resulting from collisions with structures such as power lines, towers and wind turbines (see Bird–skyscraper collisions and Towerkill). Bird strikes are a significant threat to flight safety, and have caused a number of accidents with human casualties. There are over 13,000 bird strikes annually in the US alone.

In the first version then, the bird is cautious, but in the second version, it is the poet who is cautious. In the fair copy, both a period and a dash follow "Head", and a comma follows "Cautious". The fair copy version is the one usually printed, and, as Vendler notes, this version accords with Dickinson's comic sense.
