Talk:Goldcrest

national bird of Luxembourg?
Where does that information come from? I've never even heard of this bird (not in English, not in French and not in German, no idea what it could be in Luxembourgish).--Caranorn 17:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Apparently so. My information is from List of national birds.  There are also numerous websites that corroborate.  Its Luxembourgish name is the Dommendéckchen. Bastin 18:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Odd, never heard of it by that name either. Though I haven't been bird watching for some 20 years, so it could be correct. Alternativelly it could have been picked by officials at some point but never was a popular symbol.--Caranorn 21:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't find an RS for this, so removed at FAC  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:57, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * There is something plausible about a small bird being the national symbol of a small country. However, if there are no reliable sources, then it is coinage of the mind. Snowman (talk) 14:06, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Activity
The article should say whether it's nocturnal, crepuscular or diurnal. 110.32.195.15 (talk) 10:05, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * assumption is that birds are diurnal unless otherwise stated  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Proliferating Goldcrests
Prompted by today's Main Page FA, I went a-browsing among the Regulidae articles and noticed that as well as a nice full FA-standard Goldcrest article, we have stubs for Tenerife Goldcrest, Western Canary Islands Goldcrest, Sao Miguel Goldcrest, Western Azores Goldcrest and Santa Maria Goldcrest. This feels a bit over the top to me. Any thoughts? SP-KP (talk) 14:53, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Agree, they are not doing any harm, but perhaps could be merged.  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  05:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

The map and text should be amended
Incredibly enough, since the bird is mostly a feathery, albeit colourful, ping pong ball, it has managed to take up permanent residence in southern Iceland due to warmer winters, at least since 1995. Links on demand, although they will mostly be in Icelandic. All the best 85.220.22.139 (talk) 22:54, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
