Talk:Red-billed chough

message: was wondereing if it would be sensible to mention somewhere the cultural/folklore/symbolic importance of the chough in cornwall somewhere, maybe in a seperate section or else a link to the culture of cornwall article and expand it there?
:It would be fine in the article, unless you think that there is enough information that it should have its own article. In that case a summary within this article, with a link, would be best. --Hey jude, don't let me down 02:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: *Bit of contradiction in the status section; an estimated 86 to 210 million individuals in Europe alone. versus The European population is between 12,265–17,370 pairs,. One of those is badly wrong. 86 million pairs in a range of 10 million square kilometres? How dense are these things? Sabine's Sunbird  talk 20:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK the first figure was only 1000 times too large! If correct you could walk across the mountains on a carpet of choughs. Since they don't breed for three years and there will always be unpaired birds, I think the figures for individuals/breeding pairs are now consistent. Jimfbleak (talk) 06:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks pretty good for GA. I'd nominate it now. Any further fixes will be straightforward. cheers,  Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Article is well and professionally written, easy to read, and well researched. It passes all six of the Good Article criteria with flying colors, IMHO. Pictures are very good as well. Good work! The article will be promoted. Cheers! Dr. Cash (talk) 03:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Per the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds, this article is on a subspecies that has no English name and little notability.

text: Agree with Shyamal, most subspecies I doubt warrant their own page unless substantially distinctive. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:23, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

text: With regard to Jim's oppose, I don't think there is a great deal to merge anyway, thus making this proposal mostly a redirect anyway. I would certainly defer to his insights into the species 9as the FAC champion of the species) anyway. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 13:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal to merge [[Graja]] 

message: The image in the lead (the current one is cropped from the old image :File:Alpenkrähe-Pyrrhocorax.jpg) is described as a "Alpenkrähe, Pyrrhocorax Pyrrhocorax barbarus" on commons, but in the infobox it is described as a "P. p. erythropthalmus".  I do not know which version is correct. Snowman (talk) 11:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have done a bit more work on this: the original image is at :File:Alpenkrähe.jpg and the comment given with it at the time of first upload is "Alpenkrähe, aufgenommen auf La Palma, Kanarische Inseln", which is German for something like; "Alpine crow, photographed on La Palma, Canary islands". To me, the indications are that this is the subspecies that is known in Spain as a Graja. Snowman (talk) 16:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Nice picture of Machair but outwith the distribution of the bird. Perhaps an image from around Ardnave or Machir Bay on Islay, or from Colonsay could be substituted. Semudobia (talk) 18:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Please change "In 2012, the red-billed choughs were living free in the central valley area of Durrell Wildlife Park, and the Trust expects colonisation of the coastal areas of Jersey in the following years" to "In 2013, juveniles were released onto the north coast of Jersey using soft-release methods developed at Durrell. Over the next five years, small cohorts of captive-bred choughs were released, monitored, and provided supplemental food. In 2015, the choughs began breeding in the wild and there is now a resident wild population once again in Jersey."
The referenced link #50 is also incorrect and should be www.birdsontheedge.org Ejcorry (talk) 11:05, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , do you have a WP:COI you'd like to declare? Also, I just looked at the link above, and it currently has no content that confirms your text, just a "closed for maintenance" notice Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:45, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

text: Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 12:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  In reference to your post on 's user talk page, I understand it's probably annoying that Wikipedia is out of date if you're the person in charge of the project, but unfortunately we can't just take Wikipedia editors at their word. Have a look at the Reliable sources policy. Are there any links where this news was published? If it was published there previously the Internet Archive might have a snapshot of the relevant page on BirdsOnTheEdge.org at least. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 12:07, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:   Partly done: Thanks for the extra info at Jim's talk page. I have partially updated the article with the first part of your suggested edit based on the Archive link, but I couldn't find a source for "" My assumption is this might be stated in one of the monthly reports, but they haven't been archived, so it might be necessary to wait until the maintenance is over. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 13:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , replying here to keep discussion in one place. Thanks for COI comment, could you please put that on your user page so it's transparent. , thanks for that. I think we have gone about as far as we can until the site's back up. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 11 July 2019 

message: Can someone add to the Status paragraph, just after the part on Cornwall? Something like "In 2023 39 pairs of choughs in Cornwall raised 112 young. Paul St Pierre, RSPB conservation officer, said, 'One of the primary goals has been to re-establish a link between the chough population in Wales and Brittany, and this year brings us closer than ever to achieving that objective'.". Citation is https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-66319535
Could you also add "As part of a conservation programme by the Wildwood Trust and the Kent Wildlife Trust ten choughs were released near to Dover, England in July 2023. The plan is to establish 15 breeding pairs in 10 years by releasing 30 to 50 individuals over five years."
