Broodiness → Broodiness in chickens – This article talks about broodiness in chickens Ottawahitech (talk) 20:07, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * DISAGREE with change.  Given that modern day production hens are highly artificially selected very deliberately NOT to go broody, I think it would be quite misleading to change the title to Broodiness in chickens.  There is valuable information on other species which readers would likely be interested in.  The article clearly needs a major revision though.DrChrissy (talk) 17:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OK so how about "Broodiness in birds" or "...in animals"? - My first impression looking at this article was that it was an article in human psychology :-) Ottawahitech (talk) 00:03, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah...now I see the problem. I had not even thought of 'broodiness' in humans.  I am working on sections of the article including Broodiness in non-avian animals, but keeping the emphasis on the sections intended by the page creator.  With this in mind, the title 'Broodiness (animals)' might be acceptable.DrChrissy (talk) 17:52, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Re-write of article

 * Hi Cacucho, you have created the basis of a really good page here. I would like to help with some of the written English and organisation of the article, but I do not wish to offend by making what might be very large changes without you knowing.  I would have also sent this message to your User:page but this does not seem to exist.  I hope this will be OK.DrChrissy (talk) 14:36, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

ALSO DISAGREE with title change- What I intended with this article was to emphasize the concept that broodiness is a normal physiological behaviour of female birds in wildlife, which can be modified by management in captivity and by artificial selection under long-term domestication. But not circumscribing the concept to domestic fowl. I would like this article to be considered as an starting point on the subject and invite other lovers of animal behaviour to expand it. Many thanks for your opinions! (The author) Cacucho (talk) 04:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC) Hi DrChrissy, thank you for your polite and ethical offer to help with the written English, which indeed, is not my native language. According to your scientific profile, you seem to be the most suitable person to make substantial changes to this article. Do not hesitate to make them. Sorry I have not seen my User page. I am so limited in hours of internet connection that had not enough time to check all the pages. Cacucho (talk) 04:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Dated references
This article seems heavily reliant on rather dated references. Whilst these are highly regarded and verifiable sources, I think it would be beneficial to the reader if more recent references could be found. DrChrissy (talk) 16:57, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Non-avian dinosaur brooding
Why aren't dinosaurs (other than birds) listed? There are evidence that shows other maniraptorian dinosaurs such as oviraptor and velociraptor did practice brooding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.247.53.226 (talk) 21:06, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
