Kakariki link[edit]

222.154.235.173 02:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC) www.kakariki.net This site in the last couple yrs has now the most comprehensable info on the very under researched and endangered Kakariki, either on the net or hardcopy. As kakarki are highly under researched, most of the info avalible else where is incorrect or highly flawed. As active members it has leading kakariki researchers, breeders, pet owners world wide, Dept of Consevation (NZ) staff actively involved in the recovery program for the orange kakariki, Veternary Prof at Massey University (NZ) This is only part of an impressive list. It is also in the top 3 of all major search engines in the world, and at least top 5 of all the rest.][reply]

Proposed split of article from a disambiguation page[edit]

I think this is a good idea.. each species should really have an individual article - but when the page is created can we have "Orange Crowned Parakeet" instead of "Malherbs Parakeet" - no one calls it that and multiple species can have articles with the same common name.. thats what disambiguation pages are for .

Totally agree with the split'. But Orange-crown isn't appropriate, as it has a yellow crown and orange front (see discussion about names here). Sabine's Sunbird talk 04:22, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with split - and with ditching Malherb. Kahuroa 04:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re Sabines Sunbird: You're right, I just mixed up the name by using the term "crowned" instead of "fronted" - a subtle but important distinction. "Orange fronted" is indeed the correct english name ( used on the DOC website, Heather and Robertson field guide).

I've begun to split the species out. We can leave this page here as a disambiguation page. Sabine's Sunbird talk 01:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removed line[edit]

There is one remaining subspecies of the Red-crowned Parakeet, the Chatham Island Red-crowned Parakeet, C. n. chathamensis, all other forms having been split off (see also Scofield, 2005). - This is incorrect on two levels, first off it ignores the Kermadec Islands subspecies, and even if there wasn't one it should have read There is one remaining subspecies other than the nominate...
