That's something I noticed when I first started using it, too. One of the first things was picking out the different kids of small birds that my brain had previously filed under "small bird." A sparrow here, a finch there, a warbler or a phoebe, those are starlings not blackbirds or small crows, etc.

I'm still not good at telling different dandelion-like species apart, though, and I'm happy to let the app make its best guess on those and let someone else sort them out!
