Big Bird (bird) → Big Bird (finch) – In the current title with "(bird)" adds no further information, I suggest the titles "Big Bird (finch)" or "Big Bird (Darwin's finch)" or another variation of the sort. Juwan (talk) 15:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, since the current title is ambiguous with Big Bird, who is also a bird. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as funny as the current non-disambiguating modifier is. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 19:04, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Big Bird lineage. All the sources in the article use the term "Big Bird lineage". (finch) and (bird) remain ambiguous with the single individual male founder of the lineage, who is referred to as "Big Bird" in one of the sources.Plantdrew (talk) 21:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also support that alternative. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:57, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
