    In the paper, \(M\) denotes a compact connected boundaryless smooth manifold. Let \(C^0 (M)\) be the space of all continuous maps from \(M\) to itself. Let \(\mathrm{Homeo}(M)\) be the space of all homeomorphisms of \(M\) to itself. Both spaces are endowed with the usual \(C^0\) metric, \[ d_C^0 (f,g)=\sup_{x\in M} d(f(x),g(x)). \] For a given dynamical systems, the authors define general notions, related to the properties of its Birkhoff averages, namely ``wonderful'', ``wholesome'', ``weird'', ``wacky'', ``wicked''. Then the following relations are proved: 1. Every wonderful system is wholesome. 2. Wacky systems are not wholesome. 3. Every weird system is wholesome but not wonderful. 4. No weird system is wacky. 5. (Proposition 4.1) Every wicked system is wacky.
