Both birds are members of families represented throughout north
america and much of europe and asia. They're hardly rare or scarce.
I suspect your antipodean location make them appear unusual to you.

<br>
<br>
sadly my connection to Mozilla's servers was super slow during the
biweekly meeting yesterday so I couldn't connect.
<br>
Now I've read in the minutes about the planned bird names: Avocet
and bunting.
<br>
<br>
As English is my second language - despite living in Australia for
16 years - I've never heard of these birds.
<br>
Sure enough, avocet can be found by Google, bunting is a little
harder, you need search for "bunting bird".
<br>
<br>
Since TB has a large international user base, for example in
Germany and Japan, wouldn't it be better to use the names of some
better known birds? I'm sure many English speakers understand the
names of the OS X releases (Puma, Tiger, Lion) or the names of the
Ubuntu releases (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases</a>). And also
Android names are very easy to understand.
<br>
<br>
So why not use some better known, easier recognisable, bigger and
stronger birds? TB 38 will be new and strong, so I'd say eagle or
falcon or albatross might be more fitting. If we wanted a pun, we
could use phoenix ;-)
<br>
<br>
Just an opinion ...
