Endothermic is the scientific term for warm blooded. Exothermic is the scientific term for cold blooded. Although the word "fish" is part of the name fish eagle and most fish are exothermic, fish eagles are birds and not, of course, fish. They are called "fish" eagles because fish are their staple diet. All modern birds are endothermic.

How are ectotherms and poikilotherm the same?

Ectotherms and poikilotherms are similar in that both rely on external environmental temperatures to regulate their body heat. Ectotherms, which include reptiles, amphibians, and many fish, do not generate significant internal heat and depend on their surroundings to maintain their body temperature. Poikilotherms, on the other hand, are organisms whose body temperature fluctuates with the ambient environment, which can include both ectotherms and some endotherms that can have variable body temperatures under certain conditions. Essentially, all ectotherms are poikilotherms, but not all poikilotherms are necessarily ectotherms.

Is the echidna an ectotherm?

No. Being a mammal, the echidna is an endotherm, or what used to be commonly called "warm-blooded". Endotherms regulate their body temperature via their own metabolism. Ectotherms used to be known as "cold-blooded". Ectotherms rely on the external environment to control their body temperature, and include reptiles and fish.
