I wanted to get this to GA a long while ago, but then I forgot for some reason I don't remember. How is the article, do you think?

Hi, I am new to this, but have noticed that one of the paragraphs under trade (which is under relationship with humans) ends without a citation.Qwerty number1 (talk) 23:48, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a major contributor and I think it's solid but still a ways off. There is still some missing content, for example there is nothing about wings and flight in the morphology section; distribution and habitat is just distribution at this point; breeding is pretty thin, in fact there is more content seemingly for relationship with humans than behaviour. I think with some work it could get there and it's worthwhile (I've always thought its an important article which is why I've added quite a lot to it) so am happy to work on a more comprehensive work needed if you'd like (and also help with it).

Sure. Something’s just come up in real life so I’m gonna be a little slow to edit for the foreseeable future, but I’m happy to work with you User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:32, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well on flight, I got this on New World parrots, but I'm not exactly sure what to make of it, and I assume flight isn't that different from other birds? Flight's specific to habitat, I should think, so it should vary from species to species User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's some general observations in HBW that I'll add. Sabine's Sunbird talk 07:41, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As for the Distribution and habitat and Breeding sections, they seem complete to me. Anything more would just be overkill I should think User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 00:29, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I am right, the Rose-ringed parakeet is found, albeit not natively, in Britain and other European nations. Isn't this further north than South USA? Qwerty number1 (talk) 14:42, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

to explain I am referring to 'have lived as far north as the southern United States' , which seems an odd wording, since this seems to suggest this is basically the furthest north, while it is nowhere near? Qwerty number1 (talk) 14:45, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Typically when describing distribution it is done so in terms of natural range. The New World quails are endemic to the Americas, even if a few species have been introduced to various places. Thusly the natural (former) northernmost point of their distrubution was the southern US. Sabine's Sunbird talk 08:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
