Brushturkey or Brush-turkey

Why do we write "brushturkey" when the googlable sources I could find use "brush-turkey"? I assume Mr.Bruijn might have pushed words together when he was writing in Dutch and I would not dream of questioning his ability to write in Dutch even if it means inventing new words which for all I know it doesn't. But in English I think "brush-turkey" looks more conventional or even, if you find dashes excessively teutonic, what is wrong with "brush turkey"?

No, I know it's not very important, but it's (almost) the most interesting thought I've had since the last cup of coffee. Regards Charles01 (talk) 16:14, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Birds generally follows the International Ornithological Congress's common names. Their justification for their spelling of compound names is here. It seems to be mostly making the name distinctive and showing clearly that the Australian Brush Turkey isn't a turkey. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 22:30, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
