I know the guidelines call for the alternate names to be after the main name. For one or two alternate names, that works. Some parrots have up to 15 names. Trying to cram them all into a sentence is ludicrous - they work far better as a bullet list. And some parrots are far better known by their "alternate" names than their official name. So I suggest that if there are three or more alternate names, or if the species is best known by an alternate name, the alternate names should go at the top.

I also replaced "found on and endemic to" with "found only on". Simpler, cleaner, easier to understand, means the same thing. I'm willing to give up the internal reference for that.
