Definition
A regional or colloquial name for a bird associated with blight or decay, or one that damages crops.
Etymology
Compound word combining 'blight' (disease affecting plants) and 'bird', likely from folk terminology describing birds blamed for crop damage or appearing during plant disease.
Kelly Says
Folk names for animals often blamed birds for problems humans created—calling a bird a 'blightbird' shows how pre-scientific cultures personified agricultural failure.
