The Australian C o o t  is one of the 10 types of c o o t s  in the world:

What you all need to consider is that species aren't the same around the world. Every species has a distribution range, and outside that range other species may occupy the same ecological niche - either a closely related species from the same genus, or a different one altogether.

This isn't a trivial matter. Just as an example, this is responsible for a lot of mushroom poisoning, some of them fatal. People move to a different part of the world, find something that looks roughly the same as they're used to. Only this one is lethal. It happens a lot.

As for this one, it's Fulica atra. It can be found from Northwestern Europe, across Asia and from there into Australia. But the Australian bird is a different sub-species. It is not found in the Americas, so what they call coot there has to be something else that just looks similar.

An American "robin" isn't even remotely related to the original European robin. It's a completely different bird that just happens to have a reddish breast. American blackbirds have nothing to do with the European blackbird Turdus merula, and so on.

Graham, we call it an 'Australian Coot' here, and it has the same eye colour.   Stuffy PSNZ types, or at least those with a Natural History bent, would refer to it as Fulica atra australis.   Would you believe that you would actually loose points in a NH competition if you got the capitalization wrong with the Latin name?  I assisted during the judging of the NATEX (National Exhibition) judging when my club ran the National Convention in 2014, and the NH judges took themselves a touch too seriously for my liking.
