AB's random morning question: Species vs Sub-Species?

[Xoetix]

As you know I’ll be getting a Brotogeris but I’m having trouble choosing between a CWP or WWP Any ideas?

I tried googling the difference between the two and apparently Google doesn't know either. They're both listed under the same info.

I have found it confusing as well for Google. I tell people that I have a canary winged parakeet, which is technically correct since Google classifies CWPs as both WWP and YCPs. However, scientifically speaking if a CWP is classified as a B. chiriri then Georgie is not as a CWP. Georgie is a B. versicolurus known as White Winged parakeet. I just tell people that she is a CWP because it's a general term for both species and people who are aware of her species recognize that.

Hopefully I got all this correct.
