Not sure I follow the logic of ticking a re-introduced species but not an introduced one.
Agree there's perhaps no real logic, but if you look at taxonomic bird lists in general, they tend to give ranges for everything. These don't tend to include eg California Quail on New Zealand , Tanimbar Corella on Singapore, Madagascar Fody on Seychelles, or Golden Pheasant in the UK. It just doesn't feel right to me to count them in those places, but personally it wouldn't feel that bad to count Californian Condor in, say, California. I was a bit more strict about it and didn't even count re-intros, until I went to New Zealand, where some birds eg the saddlebacks and Little Spotted Kiwi only exist as re-introductions.
