Talk:Chapman Swifts

A fact from Chapman Swifts appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 April 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Chapman Swifts, a flock of Vaux's Swift, inspired a Portland, Oregon, community to raise over US$60,000 for a new school heating system so the birds could have the old chimney to roost?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/April.

Categorisation[edit]

Important Bird Area[edit]

This site does not appear to be an Important Bird Area and should not be categorised as such. Maias (talk) 03:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It does not appear on the local map. —EncMstr (talk) 18:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chimney[edit]

This article is about a particular site. The site is a chimney. If the site was a lake it would be categorised as such. This site can only be categorised as a chimney. Maias (talk) 04:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the birds. If the chimney were gone and there were hollowed-out trees instead, the birds would probably remain. Therefore chimney does not apply. —EncMstr (talk) 18:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Chimney cat can go. Maias (talk) 23:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article is now merged with Vaux's Swift. Snowman (talk) 14:04, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
