New Zealand Recognised Bird Names

OSNZ

The list of New Zealand Birds used by BUBO Listing is based on the 'New Zealand Recognised Bird Names' made available by the Ornithological Society of New Zealand. The OSNZ was founded in 1939 and aims to "foster the study, knowledge and enjoyment of birds".

The checklist currently used is derived from the 3rd edition (1990) of the OSNZ's Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand and the Ross Dependency, Antarctica and includes some subsequent decisions of the Rare Birds Committee of the OSNZ. Unfortunately the NZRBN list has not been kept up to date online so we have a number of species, and taxonomy changes, missing. If anyone is able to provide the list from "Checklist Committee 2010. Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand, Norfolk and Macquarie Islands, and the Ross Dependency, Antarctica. 4th ed. Wellington, Te Papa Press" in an electronic format we will look to update our NZ list.


Either select the species to add by first selecting the authority to copy it from, then the particular species, or enter a new species directly below.

NB: Likely authorities hard-coded for now, but dropdown should ideally be restricted to parents of current authority only.

If selecting from another authority, you can still update the information below before adding the species.

 

NB: Species name is defaulted from the previous species row and should of course be overwritten!.

NB: Genus is defaulted from the previous species row but may need overwriting; specific needs to be entered in either case.

NB: Species id will be taken from the corresponding species on the authority being copied from, otherwise enter 0 for a totally new species.

NB: Need a way to enter a new family if required.

NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.

Delete species

NB: Species name for the old taxon should be updated to differentiate it from the split taxa, e.g. Species A/B.

NB: Scientific should also be updated, e.g. Genus specific A/specific B.

NB: Split species must previously have been added through Add Species. Currently allow for split into 5 species. Ideally this should be done through a species lookup rather than direct entry of id.

NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.

NB: Lumped species must already exist. Ideally this should be done through a species lookup rather than direct entry of id.

NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.

Apply Taxonomic Updates

This will update all user lists according to the edited taxonomy and should only be done when all edits are complete.
