And some trivial spelling changes :
No hyphen in "Brushturkey"
Raja Shelduck
No hyphens in "Whistling Duck"
No hyphens in "Giant Petrel"
No hyphens in "Storm Petrel"
No hyphens in "Diving Petrel"
No hyphens in "Night Heron"
No hyphen in "Sea Eagle"
No hyphens in "Nativehen"
No hyphens in "Buttonquail"
Plains-wanderer becomes Plains-Wanderer
No hyphens in "Rock Pigeon"
No hyphens in "Fruit Dove"
No hyphens in "Imperial Pigeon"
No hyphens in "Black Cockatoo"
No hyphen in "King Parrot"
No hyphens in "Bronze Cuckoo"
No hyphens in "Paradise Kingfisher"
No hyphens in "Scrubbird"
No hyphens in "Fairywren"
No hyphen in "Cuckooshrike"
No hyphen in "Shriketit"
No hyphen in "Shrikethrush"
"Scrub-robin" becomes "Scrub Robin"
No hyphens in "Reed Warbler"
No hyphen in "Parrotfinch"
But why is it still "Cuckoo-Dove", "Emu-wren" and "Quail-thrush"? I
understand "Bee-eater" and "White-eye" because of the resulting
double "e" if the hyphen is removed.
I am sure I have missed a few. Paul Dodd is going to publish them
all more thoroughly.
