ZooChat Challenge UK 2019

Many thanks for that clarification (I don't know how you taxonomy nerds keep up with all these developments). I've reviewed the situation and unfortunately for Magpie Goose, unless the bird was labelled Tyto furcata, I'll have to disallow it (blame TLD for schooling us).

Phew, I was morally uncomfortable allowing it -although the rules flex for practical reasons it did seem a bit absurd (it's one thing not knowing the provenance of a Jaguar which couldn't be found "that far" from South America but quite another for a world-ranging "species"). Bless taxonomy changes (in this instance).:)

Finally, I would point out that there are some, allowable, American Barn Owls in UK collections (mainly small birds of prey centres).
That's more than fine :p I'll have to make a trip to Llandudno soon to see the American Barn Owl they have! (well according to ZTL anyway) So my total is now 84 :)
