Common
Sub-species Names
There
is a site run by The South
American Classification Committee (SACC) of the American Ornithologists' Union
that has the goal of standardizing the English names of South American bird
species. The English name for Pionites melanocephalus is
"black-headed parrot" and for Pionites leucogaster
"white-bellied parrot." It is obvious, though, that the Union did not
harmonize its English names with an earlier list of "English Names for the
Parrots" published by Dr. E. Hopkinson over several issues of the Avicultural
Magazine in 1915. Dr. Hopkinson indicates that the English names should be
Black-Headed Caique for P. melanocephalus; White-Bellied Caique for P.
leucogaster; and Yellow-Thighed Caique for P. xanthomerius.
Common
names of the two species and the five subspecies in various languages.
