upatsix.com - Your Source For Pet Bird Information

Hi everyone,

I've been reading the posts on this board and I've noticed a lot of abbreviations for bird species. Since I'm still rather new to bird keeping, I'm having some trouble knowing what people are talking about. Could someone post a list of common abbreviations for me? For example, I've figured out that CAG is a Congo African Gray, and B&G seems to be a Blue & Gold Macaw, and I think M2 is a kind of cockatoo.

If there's a list already posted somewhere that I just haven't found, you can just post the link.

Thanks!
