4 letter codes for common bird names

["Peter Johnson (Intouch Data)" <>]

Hi Ian

Being in the database business I think your idea has tremendous value. There is 
a number of web initiatives alone that would benefit from such a data set. 
Those with list compilation facilities etc would be enhanced by such a code 
when multiple users are involved (for instance). However I am not sure what 
benefit your ultimate outcome would provide? May I ask what is your particular 
need? And Ian (tongue firmly in cheek here) what would the four letter code for 
Emu be?

cheers
