It is that kind of stupidity (ignoring extremely well established English,
or Australian, local names) which make this suggested name lists of only
academic interest. It is not as though there is any other bird called the
Eastern Rosella. If they are suggesting that they should be lumped, which
may be what they intend, they are premature, at least.
Of course they may just be "lumpers", and so rather lower than axe murderers
and pedophiles on the scale of human beings.

Fascinating project - pleased to see that in most cases they are using
British rather than American spellings.
Interesting to see if the next Australian list uses these names - I notice
that Eastern Rosella for example is NOT on the list (White-cheeked being
used instead).
