Hornets, but not wasps, are a type of humming-bird.
Bees are wasps whose mams tell them to "keep their jumpers on because it could rain".

This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Baby coots and other birds belonging to the rail family are known as railings. There, I’ve re-railed it.

The OED doesn't say so, so I think you making that claim is beyond the pale.
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct

Merriam-Webster, rail noun (2):
Or would that be raillery?
In court, instead of being called to the bar may folk be called to the rail?: any of numerous wading birds (family Rallidae, the rail family) that are of small or medium size and have short rounded wings, a short tail, and usually very long toes which enable them to run on the soft mud of marshes
Or would that be raillery?

I've no problem with rails being birds, I'm railing about baby rails not being railings according to the OED.bmforre wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 12:37 pmMerriam-Webster, rail noun (2):In court, instead of being called to the bar may folk be called to the rail?: any of numerous wading birds (family Rallidae, the rail family) that are of small or medium size and have short rounded wings, a short tail, and usually very long toes which enable them to run on the soft mud of marshes

Badum tish. Except baby coots are known as cootlets.
At least they are when they are on my plate
