Victoria Crowned Pigeon

Used on lex & yacc
At some point O'Reilly offered a t-shirt with their image of Victoria Crowned Pigeon and they donated a portion of the proceeds to conservation of the species, which IUCN lists as vulnerable. As part of an ornithology-computer-science couple, Cyndy gladly bought two of them.
Animalia > Psittacidae
Psittacula krameri
Rose-ringed Parakeet

Used on 802.11 Security

O'Reilly specifies the Indian Rose-ringed Parakeet but we don't have a good page for that subspecies yet. If memory serves, this is the parrot with the widest distribution, perhaps because of all the established feral populations around the world. For example, see this article about the British parakeet population explosion.
Animalia > Picinae
Campephilus principalis
Ivory-billed Woodpecker
