Talk:Hoopoe

message: The description section contains such things as "The song", "The nest", is this considered proper writing?
Also, as far as it is kosher or not, the text you brought most certainly does specify the Hoopoe in its current modern Hebrew name as not kosher.
However there are disputes as to if the bird referred to by that name is indeed the Hoopoe or not (there are similar disputes I believe, over many other poorly defined animals). KimiSan (talk) 15:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Need Help Under "Breeding" 

message: Apparently not.  Most of the articles I've googled state that the goshawk is Punjab's state bird.  Apparently the hoopoe is dying off due to pesticides and fertilizers. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 01:49, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Excitement in Australia 

message: I've observed a Hoopoe seek with its beak under a metallic roof flashing where there is a House Sparrow's nest. It would seem likely that it was after an egg or a newly-hatched bird. Is there any record of them eating eggs or nestling birds? If so, this should be mentioned in the article. Also Sparrows were observed mobbing a Hoopoe, suggesting they were under threat.

message: The small version of the "Approximate Range" image (i.e. before click-through) has too many colors.  Dark green in the full image is showing as light green in some parts (as well as a muddy brown in Madagascar).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.87.87 (talk) 18:02, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Approximate Range image 

message: A recent article by National Geographichttp://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/06/27/the-bird-that-paints-its-eggs-with-bacteria/#.U62DMd7WG7g.twitter discusses the uropigial gland of the Hoopoe and how it discolors the bird's eggs by covering them with the secretions to work as an antibiotic to the eggs, which are unusually porous.
It even mentions the inaccuracy in Wikipedia in the first paragraph.
