Hi Milanya.

I suppose that some of them are really difficult to use and some other are not used currently even for native speakers.
thanks.

Richard_Jack.c,
I believe you are correct. A lot of them are not used by native speakers, at least not frequently. How often do people talk about auks, avocets, bobolinks, ptarmigans, or sheldrakes? But if the words exist why not learn them? It is fun.
