Hi Liam, please be careful to ID the birds correctly & avoid the duplicate names while we try to fix the dropdown problems.

Hi Michael, I saw you were interested in removing other duplicates. Please check the dropdown lists. There are quite a few under Honeyeaters (e.g. Lichenostomus fuscus and Ptilotula fusca, and Manorina (Myzantha) melanocephala and Manorina melanocephala) and a couple in Parrots (e.g. Neophema (Neophema) pulchella and Neophema pulchella, and Glossopsitta pusilla/porphyrocephala and Parvipsitta pusilla/porphyrocephala). There are probably more but I haven't thoroughly scoured the lists. Another change that should be made is Hooded Robin (the real one) appears under Honeyeaters (should be Small (Robin, Finch, Thornbill, etc). There is also a duplicate Hooded Robin under Small (Robin, Finch, Thornbill, etc). Thanks for all your (and the rest of the team's) hard work in resolving these issues.

@michaelb Another note - please check Birds of Prey - Accipiter (Paraspizias) cirrocephalus, Falco (Hierofalco) subniger and Pandion cristatus should all be removed. On a side note, the following sightings (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris (Eastern Spinebill) and Falco berigora (Brown Falcon)) are still in the unidentified category despite having been confirmed.

Thanks Luke. I've fixed the Hooded Robins, a move & a merge. I've been going thru the dropdown lists, but it is difficult & slow process. I'll have a look at the others you've mentioned over time. Also thanks Liam.
