Talk:Brown thrasher

message: Nice article, Stan. We are very thin on N. American species. I've changed the range, since I've seen these in southernmost Ontario, so the breeding range must extent up that far. 
In Florida, I was shown a supposed Brown Thrasher by a guy supposedly writing a book on the birds of the Everglades. It looked like a Mockingbird to me, especially sat on a telephone post, so I shan't rush to buy his book! jimfbleak 16:36 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
::At my old home in South Florida we used to get them every year, at we believed they were Thrashers.  Being that it was the closest thing we could figure from our 40 year old bird book.  They used to nest in the cherry hedges and could be seen hopping through the yard through the day looking for food.  Then they suddenly stopped coming.--Skeev 19:23, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I've been editing up the length of the page of this article over the past two days. It still needs work, I have to finish adding the citations where needed(among other issues), but I felt I could at least added what I had done so far. Far from great to me, but better that where it was prior to the day I added the Georgia WP on the talk page. Thanks for reading, and let me know if I did something wrong, this is the first article I've done extensive work on. LeftAire (talk) 05:05, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expanded article 

message: The name "thrasher" is most obviously a variant of "thresher." The bird's foraging behavior, like all of the "thrashers," is to thresh -- to go through loose leaf and scrub and move its bill from side to side in order to disturb or uncover food. Therefore, the idea that the name might have come from aggressive behavior, intimated in the "Behavior" sub, is just plain weird. Even without "thrasher" being an Americanism or ornithological adaptation, the birds thrash the understorey. Hithladaeus (talk) 20:08, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obvious etymology 

message: The sentence “It has also been noted for its flexibility in catching quick insects, as the amount of vertebrae in its neck exceeds giraffes and camels” is problematic; “the amount of vertebrae” is ambiguous and possibly misleading, especially when connected to giraffes and camels. All mammals have the same number of neck vertebrae (“amount” makes no sense), regardless of the length of the neck. Some really more familiar with the bird’s anatomy and sources should amend this to be more clear.
