Possible plagiarism

Not only does this read like a narrative rather than an encyclopaedia entry, it seems to have been plagiarised, at least in part, from: Davies GBP, 2013. "Status of Eastern green Tinkerbird Viridibucco simplex in Sul do Save, southern Mozambique, and notes on selected bird species of the Sitila-Massinga coastal, tropical, semi-deciduous dry forest and thicket complex, Inhambane province". Durban Natural Science Museum Novitates 36:30-44.

Agreed. This looks exactly like a plagiarized journal article or abstract. No original content would say "this article". 2601:441:4400:1740:C19D:222B:66F:81FF (talk) 17:10, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
