Fabulous list, Terry!

One to add:

RTC = red throated conure

I used to be loved by one, but I’m struggling to remember if we’ve come across any other posters in the past who had one also. It may be about as esoteric as little Lily up there.

Thank you, Chris! I added them, what a beautiful conure!

Is there an abbreviation for Patagonian conure? Pati perhaps? Quick before Señor Ricardo notices!!

 

[Jen5200]

How about CAV - avian vet? I see people ask what a CAV is.

I couldn't find a common abbreviation for Rb, and would love it if Gail makes one for us to add!

What a great addition, thank you Jenn!

Rtb2 - Red tailed Black cockatoo
Pow - pirincess of Wales parrot
Ps. Parakeets not always are budgies

Thank you for the additions!
Very true that not all parakeets are budgies as it is a broad term that encompasses many species, but the abbreviation "Keet" is most commonly used for Budgies.

Terry, thank you for putting in the time to make such a comprehensive list! Most impressive, my friend! I know I learned quite a few I didn't know before, so much appreciated.

OBP - orange bellied parrot
You can be suprised but it is one of first parrot acronyms which I've seen. Then I didn't know yet in English it is common and I thought Orange Bellied Parrot Recorvery Plan (if I wrote correctly) only uses it
I'm not sure about adding few common parrot organisations like WPT, ACTP

 

[Zoruace]

this is great and all..
would be possible to add a MTC (maroon tailed conure)?

How about RWL for rainbow lorikeet instead of RL so we can tell the diffrence of red lory and rainbow lorikeet?

 

[foxgloveparrot]

Severe macaw?
SEM, maybe, since we already have SM?

Hmmm, either SEM or SVM?

What do y'all think?

 

[foxgloveparrot]

I'd go with SV M.

 

[Terry57]

I'd go with SV M.

With the space? I don't think acronyms usually have a space.

 

[foxgloveparrot]

With the space? I don't think acronyms usually have a space.

sorry. the space was an accident. I meant to say SVM.

 

[Terry57]

I thought maybe it was. I'm going to go with SVM, adding it now.

I think maybe RBL would be a better acronym. What do you think?
