1. No idea, I've never eaten one.
2. (I think Edwin
means why, rather than what.) Regent as in Regal, the colours yellow and black
which traditionally were used to signify a viceroy person or prince. Add Parrot
to the list, though not much black on it. Don't ask me why. I wonder whether
there are any birds outside Australia that are called Regent whatever and
whether they are mainly yellow and black. Are there any ideas out there? People
with world bird databases maybe.
This line was on B-A a few months
ago.

Subject: [BIRDING-AUS] Hardheads
and Regents
The following are 2 things which I am eager to
find out about.
1) Why are White-eyed Ducks called
"Hardheads" ?
2) What are black and yellow birds called
"Regent" - as in Regent Honeyeater and Regent
Bowerbird?
