- I'll take this one. As usual, I have some preliminary image suggestions first. FunkMonk (talk) 23:21, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- If available, I think we should always show all growth stages and plumage variations. You don't show the downy chick, though Commons has a category full of it:[1]
- Since you have the room, it could be nice to show a close up of the head of this bird.
- You mention that crazy ants are a threat, why not show this photo[2] then of a bird under attack?
- You don't present all writers in the same way.
- The caption to the taxobox image does not need italics, and instead of redundantly listing the name, you could list the location.
- No range map?
- The image you have of a nesting individual says "possibly on a nest" on Commons. Perhaps find one that is more certain.[3]
- He also reported a black-billed tropicbird" Why no link? Also goes for silver gull and perhaps other species mentioned.
- You should be consistent in whether you list the scientific names of other mentioned species or not.
- "a nomen nudum" Link.
- "distinct form that he named P. rubicauda erubescens" Surely a subspecies?
- "The Maori called it amokura, tawake, ko’ae or ’ula,[11] while the Hawaiians call it" Links for the peoples?
- " the IOC" Link and spell out at first occurrence.
- "in flight, Kilauea Point", "closeup of head". Capitalise first letters in captions?
- "are mostlyfeathered" Split?
- "The large range and apparently stable population indicate that the red-tailed tropicbird is classified as a least-concern species according to the IUCN" That is a very strange way to put it. It doesn't indicate anything, it is the reason it is classified as such.
- "Feral dogs and cats on nesting birds on Christmas Island" Verb missing?
- "but always high than the air temperature" Higher.
- I think the word "although" is used at an unnecessarily high degree throughout.
- "bimodality" Explain.
- "and members of the genus Cypselurus) prominent" Why the half parenthesis?
- "though is adversely affected by human contact." It is?
- "Most adults have red tail streamers" Some don't?
- "They adopt a defence posture" Why italics?
- it's a specific thing
- "Mate choice is likely to be partially based on the length of the tail streamers" Mutual sexual selection?
