Words did not always mean what we currently think they mean.
Or may have different meanings in different places.

Eg. "The vagrants I encountered in France were generally
common - although a came from better backgrounds."

Incidentally Wheelwright's 1861 "Bush Wanderings of a
Naturalist" - around Melbourne - says on p142. "The
Warty-faced Honey-eater ... was a rare and uncertain
visitant to our district; generally came in large flocks..." 

Are there any birds which currently both appear in large
flocks and are described as "rare"?
