Talk:Language of the birds

message: at present hacked together from online sources. Needs better references. dab (ᛏ) 10:16, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: At one time, the expression "a little bird told me" was popular in American English, usually used to refer to a  situation involving an unnamed source.  I'm curious if this originated from "language of the birds" folk stories. —Viriditas | Talk 01:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I saw a Citation Needed tag, and I hunted down a couple sources for the material. Unfortunately, this article doesn't use cite templates, or have particularly good or consistent inline cites besides, and trying to figure out how to do it nicely by hand made my head hurt. So I just stuck a reflist in the References section and called it a day. I think that as long as this article is in a nebulous state, the inline cites, as they are added/cleaned up, should be cite templates. Anyone feel passionately about that? --Pompous stranger (talk) 00:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Hey guys - the "green language" link at the top is a recursive link to the very page it talks about! Not good - this should be either removed or retargetted to an actual other page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.22.18.83 (talk) 04:15, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good note. I fixed it by making a link to Language of the birds#Alchemy, which explains why it is called "green language", making the link recursive with a stop condition, which is a simple way to avoid infinite recursions. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 20:05, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
