Hi All,

Just wondering if the galah E. rosiecapillus kuhli is officially recognised as a definate subspecies?

There has been a unusual amount of interest in this subspecies by aviculturalists in the last month or two (people wanting to purchase these birds). Published works I have read list only two subspecies and either don't list the northern kuhli at all or say it is a probable but unrecognised subspecies. Anyone know of DNA or other work that has been completed or someone who can confirm the status of this subspecies?

Wondering if it is truely a new subspecies or just some un-substantiated hype by some aviculturalists to make a quick buck.

Thanks

Claire
