Category:Birds of (African countries)

Isee back in 2016 someone deleted Categories: Birds of...(African countries)but just for the African countries, nowhere else. Long term project is to try to restore them in some fashion....Pvmoutside (talk) 11:06, 17 July 2023

Chicken of Tomorrow Contest

I recently created an article for the Chicken of Tomorrow Contest. It may be of interest to members of this project. Thriley (talk) 20:47, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Page merges - pending for long time

I want to bring to your attention an issue that has been annoying me for some time, but I don't know how to handle it myself. This relates to the birds of New Zealand.

I need to find someone with a good understanding of the relevant science to perform these merges without introducing errors, and is willing to apply WP:BOLD. Please consider helping if this sounds like a good fit for you.

Talk:Little_penguin: Merge discussion opened August 2023, closed with result of merge April 2024. As of today, the actual merge hasn't happened yet.The taxonomy is nuanced, as discussed in the merge discussion. Please merge both Eudyptula novaehollandiae and Eudyptula into Little penguin.

Talk:Yellow-eyed penguin: Merge discussion opened October 2023. I believe that the result is a merge consensus, but the discussion hasn't closed yet and the merge hasn't happened. Please merge both Waitaha penguin and Megadyptes into Yellow-eyed penguin.

Talk:New Zealand raven: Merge discussion opened November 2023. I believe that the result is a merge consensus, but the discussion hasn't closed yet and the merge hasn't happened. Please merge Chatham raven into New Zealand raven.

Talk:Xenicus: Merge discussion opened November 2023. I believe that the result is a merge consensus, but the discussion hasn't closed yet and the merge hasn't happened. Please merge Pachyplichas into Xenicus. I think that North Island stout-legged wren and South Island stout-legged wren can remain separate articles for now, although this can be revised in the future.

Crested (duck breed)

Could someone kindly take a look at Crested (duck breed)? I've already reverted there more often than I'm comfortable with. Many thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Missing topics

We don't have entries for in pin or pullus. To what articles or sections could those topics be sensibly redirected? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:57, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

There is a Glossary_of_bird_terms where something could be added for Pullus. There is also a section on Parental_care_and_fledging in Birds and articles on Fledging and Precociality and altriciality. I'm note sure of the best definition of pullus which varies from the general "a young bird" to the more specific "a young bird in the downy stage" or "a young bird or nestling prior to fledging" or "a young bird or nestling that is not yet able to fly".  —  Jts1882 | talk  13:17, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

There are a number of articles on feathers, which don't mention pullus or in pin, although there is an article on Pin_feathers that could do with some work.  —  Jts1882 | talk  14:23, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Redirects now in place. Thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:51, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
