* The scientific names used in the 2003 Inventory of exotic birds known to be in Australia have been updated. Bird keepers who were using the 2003 Inventory may have previously identified their birds by the scientific name in the final column. However, bird keepers should now use the new scientific name in the first column when completing records.
