No. But if they were, they would have been the Metrebirds. We spell it differently. Or rather, you do.

They were. There's a reason it's called that. Metric system only came in around the 1970s I think? Later than the Yardbirds were around, anyway.

They changed their name to "The Point Nine One Four Birds" after being handed over to English management. They had to revise to "The One Point Zero Nine Three Six Birds" when they regrouped.
