If only C&B had had the nerve to lump Scaly-breasted and Rainbow Lorikeets I wouldn't have a problem in atlassing the 2??? species down here. As it is there are enough scalys (greatly outnumbered by rainbows) and my hearing is bad enough for it to be impossible for me to say with certainty which variety of lorikeet is whizzing overhead. Lumping scalys and rainbows has been on the agenda for ages (or a neurone-firing relative to evolutionary time-scales). Will someone really authoritative please do it. Michael Norris Hampton, Vic. |
