Is a Grammostola Pulchripes a birdeater?

[Patherophis]

Someone might have touched on this but I seen a video from Tom Moran and he shows a picture from like the 1700s I think it was called bird eater, it was something with “bird eater” and the picture had a spider with pink toes.
His idea was that BIRD eater is scarier than BUG eater or worm eater.....
So people just started using bird eater to make it more attractive or scary.

It made sense to me

It is considered to all start with this drawing by Maria Sibylla Merian:

Birdeater, birdspider or related term is used for tarantulas in general in many languages. Using it for some selected NW terestrial make zero sense to me.
