Terrupik Kushellar heh Zhilikam

For help in translating the many languages of Earth into their languages, the Vulcans have come up with names for uniquely Earth things. This is especially true for the rich animal life of Earth, which Vulcans love to study, since their own planet has had limited biodiversity for most of their recorded history.

This page deals mostly with examples of those birds still extant just before World War III on Earth, when the most species were documented. We have included some important prehistoric species and historically extinct birds. Historically extinct birds are marked with † and prehistoric birds are marked with ††.

Below you will find examples of Terran birds, how they are referred to in TGV/MGV and ornithological terminology. Some names are "Vulcanized" Earth words. Alternative names for some animals may be listed in other languages, characters of which may or may not display on some computers, depending on your settings.
