Name a Bird You've Seen 2 (2 Viewers)

That will have gone, maybe under Brent Goose
It was still on the reverse list issued at 7389. That's what I'm working from.

Edit: But now that I look at the main list, you're right, it went at 1001 as Brent Goose.

So how do we play this? Go back to Emperor Goose and play from there? Because I assume we can't simply remove my Brant Goose and and have lammergeier05 play on him/her self, right?

So right now I would have two in a row (Emperor Goose and Nene) but if we just flip who played what Jeff can take the Nene and I can take the O’mao and then we can continue from there

Except I haven't seen a Nene.

If I'm going to play off Emperor Goose, my choice is Mikado Pheasant :)

But if you play another Taiwanese Endemic, we can get back to Hawaii via "Pacific Ocean Islands". I've got a couple more Hawaiian endemics left.

I think throughout the list there are lots of examples of this, and it doesn't really matter. People end up following their own birds, but not by trying to do so. I think it's more important that the birds get played. It's up to Will in the end though.

The reverse list may have some other played birds in it, eg Common Merganser (if it's still on it?) was played as Goosander a very long time ago. The reverse list is a fairly recent addition to the game, and was just meant as a help when it got way too hard to remember what had gone!

Yes, Common Merganser is still there. I'll remove it from my list.

I’m fine with this and I have Taiwan Bullfinch, so now it’s your turn playing off Nene, I think
OK, to consolidate we have...

7813 Emperor Goose (played by lammergeier05)
7814 Mikado Pheasant (Played by Jeff Hopkins)
7815 Taiwan Bullfinch (played by lammergeier05)

In response to that, I'll play...

7816 Iiwi (linking Taiwan and Hawaii as Pacific Islands)

That get's us back to...

7817 Nene (played by lammergeier05)
7818 O'mao (Played by Jeff Hopkins)

So now, we're back to something being played off O'mao. Good?

I'll just say that the reverse list on the second tab of my Google Sheet is more up-to-date.

When it comes to quick-fire parts of the game, best to just power through when birds don't always follow each other.
