message: - Having trouble uploading an image. I'd like to use this photo (http://englishbloopers.com/Webmaster/Personal/Photos/Birds_2004/site_2_Kiro.jpg), which is from my own domain.  Can't figure out how to upload.  The caption for the photo should be "Male gouldian finch" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.218.35.59 (talk • contribs)

message: This section is in dire need of cleanup. It is repetitive, and appears to be written by a person with ESL, or who is unable to grasp the fundamentals of English grammar (not to belittle whoever wrote it). Douglas C (talk) 02:08, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Move comment to talk page

message: In the "Description" section we have:
These tubercles are commonly (and incorrectly) described as phosphorescent in spite of much scientific evidence to the contrary.
And then in the verbage of one of the images we have:
A young Gouldian finch (first day out of the nest) – note the blue phosphorescent nodules on the side of its beak
Well, are the tubercles/nodules phosphorsecent or not? Can we have someone who knows FOR SURE correct the sentence that is incorrect?

message: Sorry, but it just is so that there is more than one Latin name!!! Look at the common garden snail as an example -different people believe the name is different. I have given TWO citations. You have just said, "thats not how it works"!!! Remember, the name DOES mean something. Therefor, it is possible that people will have different ideas as we get better research.

thread_title:  More than one name 

message: Should "aviculture" and "trapping for aviculture" not be merged because the latter seems like part of the former. The former is also not very big, which makes me wonder why this was done. Qwerty number1 (talk) 08:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  categories within article 

message: I have moved 5 images to Gallery to avoid Sandwich effect on text (see MOS:IMAGELOC) & changed selection of images at right of text to more closely coincide with that text (ie, newly-hatched chicks & juvenile finch images are now adjacent to Breeding section).

thread_title:  Image location 

message: Current source is a self-published site by an ecologist who may or may not be an expert on the bird.
More reliable sources instead state a smaller figure for flock size: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/gouldian-finch
"The Gouldian finch is a medium-sized grass eating bird that lives only in the northern savannas region of Australia. It is a strikingly colourful bird which was once very common. Although Gouldian finches are popular as pets around the world, less than 2500 adult finches remain in the wild. These remaining finches are broken up into isolated flocks, most with less than 100 birds each."
