Bardolater Birdolater

I was trying to think of a good historical epithet for Eugene Schieffelin (January 29, 1827 — August 15, 1906).

In referencing his project of naturalizing Shakespearean birds in America, "Bardolater Birdolater" seems to do the man justice.

The title would look nice on a round commemorative medal, "Bardolater"in an arc across the top, "Birdolater" in a reverse arc around the bottom. Of course, Eugene (what does he look like? does anyone know?) would be in the center.
