The literal translation of the words "Butcher Bird," the name of the Butcherbird in Latin, or the Latin translation of the Shrike?

Carnifex/Lanius Avis

A carnifex would be someone who is literally a butcher as a profession. Lanius is probably what you want though because it comes from the latin word lanio, which means tear.
