Entities such as BirdsCaribbean claim that they have "all the evidence" of the error that originated the scientific name of the San Pedrito (GFR Media) (Supplied).

They propose using Todus borinquensis instead of Todus mexicanus, while calling for its designation as a national bird.

Ornithologists, members of non-profit organizations and agencies, educators and tour guides are discussing strategies to correct the scientific name of the San Pedro, Todus mexicanus, while at the same time there is a growing call for Governor Pedro Pierluisi to sign into law a bill that seeks to make this charismatic animal the national bird.
