Updates: Changes in Taxonomy and Name Changes (Birds)

Post by Klipspringer »

This change was about time \O


The English common names of two species were changed. The BirdLife South Africa and IOC World Bird List decided to change Hottenttot Teal to Blue-billed Teal and Hottentot Buttonquail to Fynbos Buttonquail as the former names have become offensive.
