| 5 | Llama Man | This campaign has my wholehearted support |
| 6 | Mark Reeder | "Too many birders us* ?? Come on Rob get a grip, only 3 more months until things start hotting up. |
| 7 | Richard | I don't mind Icky to be honest, it's quite descriptive. |
| 8 | Dave "Earl" Gray | Rosy Pastor not!!! |
| 9 | Marcus Lawson | I would also like to point out that the use of the adjective "rare" needs to be followed by something, you don't say I saw a "small" do you? - nobody would have any idea what you were on about. Please stop this teeny-ticker nonsense. |
| 10 | Jon | "R-b Flicker"... I'd rather have my toenails pulled out with pliers than listen to one more twat say that. Or "Grotfinch". Kids, just say no. |
| 11 | Skev | This petition closely mirrors the aims and ethics of the Curtail Usage of Nonsensical Terminology Society. I offer my full support. |

| 13 | Harry Hussey | If Chiffy is gay, then what about Chiffer? Is THAT better?
Presumably, also, it is acceptable to use terms like 'Radde's', 'Pallas's' for the warblers, as anyone knows that you wouldn't bother with abbreviations if you found the accentor or sandgrouse...?
More to ban: Caspo (for the gull...Caspian is SUCH a long word, isn't it? ;-) ), Grotfinch (I LIKE them), 'sprog' for sparrow etc... |

| 15 | Menzie | I would not be caught dead using words like Sprosser, Fudge Duck, Smicker or G-spot. Amongst other things, they make me sound very rude. |

| 17 | col | Actually i like (and use, when they turn up very occasionally) the names icky and dix pipit BUT i'll never use them again if you add BOP to the list, as an exceedingly annoyingly crap reference to any bird of prey. |
