"Jabiru"

["Michael Hunter" <>]

Why be pedantic . If anyone sees a South American Jabiru in Australia, just 
call it a South American Jabiru.
Does anyone think that all the Jabiru motels and lodges should change their 
names to Black-necked Stork Nest or something?
Scientific names are there for the pedants and would-be scientists.

Of course, maybe when I retire and have nothing better to do, I might jump on 
the Change a Name bandwagon. The first change would be the ultra boring Pied 
Imperial Pigeon to Torres Strait Imperial Pigeon. "Torres Strait Imperial 
Pigeon" is a name redolent with romance, at least to those familiar with the 
history of Northern Australia and Torres Strait.

                                                 Cheers
                                                        Michael
