What is the best name for this page?[edit]

Various names are used for this parrot on the internet. The current name seems to have the most wiki links and redirects going to it. It might be better English to use Edwards' Fig-parrot, but there are few links going there. Sometimes Fig Parrot is used on the internet. Snowman 20:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
