What do the abbreviations stand for?

Cole Wilson · Post by **Cole Wilson** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:09 am

Hello, (-:

I just registered today.
I have been reading on this forum since yesterday and I must say I just love looking at all the pictures and reading all the information!

Anyway, as I was reading I can across many abbreviations...and I have no idea what they are. I know there the names of the bird species but I dont know what they stand for.

So, can some one please tell me what the abbreviations stand for or send me the post that has my question already answered?

Thanks,
Cole (-:

Which abbreviations are you referring to? Types of finch or the terms used for a species for example lady gouldians ... RH.PB.Nb

I am not sure what the official abbreviation is, but I use BW for Bronze Winged Manniken, YS for Yellow Star, and I'd love to know the abbreviations if mine are not correct, as well as for the Red Ear Waxbill or St. Helena, or Goldbreast Finches. Unless we just type those out as I did now?
