A bird that feeds on or frequents dung heaps, such as certain species of starlings, thrushes, or other ground-feeding birds.
From 'dung' (Old English dung) + 'bird' (Old English brid, a young bird or any bird). A simple descriptive compound reflecting what the bird actually does.
Birds like starlings seem humble, but they're crucial ecosystem engineers—they process tons of organic waste and control insect populations, making 'dungbird' one of nature's most important but most insulted creatures.
