Some people consider it reasonable to name [combinators](primitive.md#modifiers) after types of birds. [Here's](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/combinator/birds.html) one compendium of such names, albeit still missing the Phoenix or `S'` combinator `labcd.a(bd)(cd)` ([this one](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/data-aviary-0.4.0/docs/Data-Aviary-Birds.html) has more). There is something wrong with these people. Some of these birds are not even real. "Quixotic bird"? Have you not heard of a quail? Nonetheless, I don't judge such afflicted souls (certainly not publicly), and have provided this translation table to explain BQN in terms they can understand.
-| BQN | Bird 1 | 1 | Bird 2 | 2
-|:-------:|-----------|-------|--------------|---------
-| `⊣` | Identity | `I` | Kestrel | `K`
-| `⊢` | Identity | `I` | | `KI`
-| `∘` | Bluebird | `B` | Blackbird | `B₁`
-| `○` | Bluebird | `B` | Psi | `ψ`
-| `˙` | Kestrel | `K` | | `KK`
-| `⊸` | | `BSC` | ~Dove | `D`-like: `labcd.a(bc)d`
-| `⟜` | Starling | `S` | ~Dove | `D`-like: `labcd.ac(bd)`
-| `˜` | Warbler | `W` | Cardinal | `C`
-| `k G H` | Dove | `D` | Eagle | `E`
-| `F G H` | Phoenix | `S'` | Golden Eagle | `Ê`-like: `labcde.a(bde)(cde)`

The name "Golden Eagle" is a [fever dream](https://nitter.net/code_report/status/1440208242529882112#m) of bird enthusiast Conor Hoekstra, who saw it emerge disordered from the Bald Eagle when arguments `fg` are set equal to `cd`.
