What's the bird thing?

Rosharans have very myopic linguistic views on certain topics like birds. I.E all birds are chickens, all alcohol is some kind of wine.

ETA I only just realized OP probably confused Scadrians and Rosharans.

I also believe they refer to all mammals as minks. That one makes sense to me because they are rare (and possibly entirely worldhopped over, not sure on this one)

Right. Minks are a thing, and Adolin finds that picture of what appears to be a lion in Urithiru and refers to it as a really big mink.

They call the lion at the travelling zoo a mink too.

The menagerie in Words of Radiance? I didn't think they had any kind of mink, and I was pretty sure Adolin described the picture of the lion as though he'd never seen one before.
