No matter how many quotations marks and clarifications, you don’t get relevant results. Let alone useful information.
I think part of this is due to how good informative websites made by obsessed fans just for the joy of it have been dropping like flies and/or hidden due to bad SEO
some guy made "mike's page of north american songbirds" 20 years ago but he never put up ads so google had no reason to funnel people to his site, which wasn't heavily trafficked anyway, and now he's dead and his family have no interest and no idea in sustaining that little website full of great information
now you end up on some ad-infested hellhole that just copied all its info from wikipedia anyway
