I purchased a copy of Simpson & Day to take to Aus in 2008 (I already had Pizzey) but on returning and working on my parrot DVD series these days I have noticed that Simpson & Day differ greatly from Foreshaw (for example) on the spelling of many species. Here are a few I found in Simpson & Day. Australian King-Parrot Glossy-black Cockatoo Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo Double-eyed Fig-Parrot Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo etc.
The biggest difference seemed to be that the authors used hypens in places that Foreshaw did not. Can anyone tell me what the story is here? Did Simpson & Day just have fun with hypens or are there more than one way of properly spelling these species?
Thanks as always for this great site and resource
