merging lists

Seems that Category:Regional bird lists has a large proportion of lists of birds by country. Either those should be moved here or all of these shd be moved there & this list dispensed with. Advantages of merging are that one won't have to look in 2 catgs that are essentially regional divisions of birds, and anyway birds don't normally stop right at the borders of countries, so although there might in fact be some species that are found nowhere else, that's an accident of current political borders. Disadvantage would be that there are other categories such as Category:Animals by country to which a "regional" list wouldn't exactly be a subset. Thoughts?
