Be aware we do allow some more complex words if they are necessary, simple doesn't completely erase complex words, we just seek to minimize them. I would also point out some of these you list like eagle, pidgeon, and crow would most definitely not be complex for the sake of this wiki. And they would especially not be considered so in this case as they are needed for the explanation. -DJSasso (talk) 13:48, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
