Western Ground Parrot taxonomy

["Murray Lord" <>]

A paper examining the genetic differences between western and eastern Ground 
Parrots has been published and is available at
http://www.springerlink.com/content/50n5334736535745/fulltext.pdf

The short summary - as to whether they should be split at the species level 
it's a borderline case, and the authors "cautiously suggest" the recognition of 
two Ground Parrot species.
