Talk:List of domesticated animals

message: Only including the stuff that hadn't already been nuked.
Lady Amherst's pheasant--no indication of captive breeding, or even of individuals kept in captivity to any significant extent (just "introduced populations")
Tian Shan wapiti--no indication of captivity
Shortfin molly: is it bred in captivity?  Fish expert wanted
Rainbowfish: same question, same expert needed
Tiger salamander--minimal mention of captive breeding, no mention of anything like pethood or research (barred tiger salamander is fine, though)
Stopped at the "companion parrots" entry.  Though I'm a bit dubious of the palm cockatoo, anyone have a reference or whatever for them being captive bred?...  
: Re: the palm cockatoo - is this useful? The World Parrot Trust also has some info about breeding them in captivity (click the 'care' tab). Iloveparrots (talk)
:: Since the "companion parrot" entry exists for the entire clade, and the first link you gave me explicitly says that they're not that commonly kept as pets, I'm... kind of inclined to remove them anyways.  And the "care" tab on your second link gives some details on how they breed, but doesn't really clarify whether or not they breed well in captivity.
:: You likely know more than most about what parrot species are commonly kept as pets.  Since the "companion parrot" entry exists to more or less cover the entire clade, care to pick out, say, the 25 most common species kept as pets, so we can remove at least most of the rest?  Maybe leave a representative sample of any particularly divergent subgroups, with an "and related species" (as I did with the bearded dragons), just to cover all the bases. 
Nuked the early January set, leaving the late January set for now since there are some questions.
New candidates:
I'm officially listing the palm cockatoo as "no real indication of captive breeding outside of zoos", and thus up for deletion unless someone tells me otherwise.  Especially since the "companion parrot" entry exists.  In fact, because of that, I'm going to be a little tougher on individual parrot listings.
Eastern kingsnake.  The other subspecies are listed on the page as popular, that one isn't.
Similarly, Mexican, black, Honduran, Nelson's, and Sinaloan milk snakes aren't specifically mentioned as captive bred.
Also, if someone would congeneric the kingsnakes and milk snakes, that would be lovely.  And any citation for grey-banded king snakes being used as pest control?...
Gray rat snakes aren't listed as pets or captive bred.
Ripe on March 6th.

thread_title:  Prior deletion log (most dates removed to prevent weirdness) 

message: Now that we've gone through a round of deletions, I'd like to suggest another round of improvement: gathering citations for each taxon to demonstrate widespread commercial use. These can be taken from the animal's own articles where applicable. Every species that currently lacks a good citation (including if their article lacks citations) would be tagged with Template:Citation needed in the meantime - not deleted yet, but I think it should be clear where evidence of common human use is needed. Thoughts? Shuvuuia (talk) 18:50, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds fair to me.  Though I wouldn't necessarily restrict it only to things with widespread *commercial* use, just... widespread human use that isn't either simple predation, or use of purely wild-caught animals (outside of the elephant exception).  If there are a substantial number of hobby breeders of a particular pet, for example, I think that qualifies an animal even if there isn't particularly widespread actual commercial use.  But, same basic idea.  Tamtrible (talk) 10:38, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  More semidomesticated cleanup 

message: :The article lists the Golden and Bald eagles under the "Tame, partially domesticated, and widely captive-bred animals" with the location listed for the Golden eagle as "Europe, North America, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Africa, Australia", and the Bald eagle location is "North America, Europe, Russia, Africa, Australia" and the purpose for both as "falconry, intercepting, pest control, show, pets"
:These need to be edited for corrections. Various laws protect many birds beginning with the Lacey Act of 1900 (amended in 2008) and the Weeks–McLean Act of 1918.  
:The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 was the beginning of protection in the US and Canada. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d, 1940) included two eagles offering complete protection, with the only exceptions being by permits. The act is supported by international conventions with Canada, Japan, Mexico and Russia. The Golden eagle is critically Endangered in the Czech Republic and Albania, where future protection laws are likely.

replies: text: Feel free to edit those entries.  Our cleanup hasn't gotten that far, but I kind of suspected that those eagle entries would end up on the chopping block.  Please, eg, check the pages for each animal, to see if there's evidence that they were historically captive bred, before deleting.  Tamtrible (talk) 01:56, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
