This is not a serious dig at anyone!
I hadn't realised that there
was such a thing as "formal training in Night Parrot identification"
but in my imagination it might go something like this
Lecturer - showing video to the rapt students,
This black shape coming down to a waterhole on a pitch black night
is a moo-cow;
This black shape coming down the the waterhole on a pitch black night,
is a sheep;
but THIS black shape is a Night parrot.
