• ... that the nest of the Yellow-faced Honeyeater (pictured) is so flimsy, eggs and nestlings sometimes fall through the bottom?

• ALT1:... that the Yellow-faced Honeyeater (pictured) plucks long hair from the ears of a Koala to line its nest?

• The hooks relate to individual birds, not the species as a whole. 5x expansion is OK, but I think we need a different hook. Wikiwayman (talk) 19:41, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

The alternative hook relates to an incident reported for a single bird. The suggested hook is true for the species as a whole, and supported by the information later that nest failure is one reason for the low breeding success rate. Marj (talk) 02:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

In that case, we're good to go. The ref is offline, but accepted in good faith. Wikiwayman (talk) 10:27, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
