Don. Certainly there is more than one way of spelling theses species. The hyphenation of “Black-cockatoo” and “King-parrot” occurs in the Clements list but not the IOC list. The Christidis & Bowles names (which are most commonly used in Australia) are more closely aligned with the IOC names and don’t use the hyphen there. Strangely, “Fig-parrot” does get a hyphen in IOC and C & B. I don’t know what criteria they use. Rgds Steve Murray
