Publishing convention re bird-names

["Green" <>]

This is much the same as the misuse of "should have" becoming should've which 
is ok, but now the expanded version many people are using is "should of" which 
is only spelling out how "should've" sound
I suppose it also stands the same for could and would.

I agree on the capitilisation issue but aren't birds the only group that this 
is the case (at least as far as publishing goes), botany etc seem to use lower 
case.

As far as hyphenation goes I was told that where the word indicates a "true" 
grouping then it's capitalised, if not then it's not.
Two that spring to mind are Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo and Painted Button-quail. 
Please someone correct me if that rule is wrong.
