thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There has been a new accepted study that showed that in fact 750-1800 species did not go extinct since the end of the Pleistocene or the start of the colonisation of the Pacific islands by humans. The old estimate is from 2006 from a book written by another ornithologist that has been recently disproven.

This is the new study that stated that only around 4% of all birds that ever existed went extinct since 50,000 years ago, no mentions of thousands of birds extinct on islands, and it is a supported study by many scientists. It also says that at least 469 extinctions have occurred since 50,000 years ago (the end of the pleistocene), most of them large flightless birds on islands, yes, they claim that there could be more waiting to be found in fossils but it is very highly unlikely that the number is above 100 more. Also only 48 bird species have gone extinct on continents (including australia) the rest are only on islands.
I suggest updating the information with this new source and deleting the old and erroneous information. It is highly unlikely the number of extinct species is above 4-5% of the total. Also the bird biodiversity in the pacific islands is still rich with thousands upon thousands of birds living there today. I say we update it. Just wanted to put this out there to start a discussion.

thread_title:  750-1800 Species of birds extinct is innacurate and an old now innacurate estimate.
