Talk:Hooded pitohui

"According to MSN encarta"  ?? That's pretty funny- but at least it is honest.

Fact check on the bird's diet
I altered the text of the article pertaining to the bird's diet. The article implied that the poisonous beetle is the only thing the Hooded Pitohui eats, which is false (see http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Publications/ZooGoer/2001/2/intoxnewguineabirds.cfm).

One of the most poisonous of 3
If it is one of the most poisonous of three species, does this mean 2 species are very poisonous and one is less? What does the source say? --2600:387:6:805:0:0:0:67 (talk) 20:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

I removed the sentence. Look, if there address only 3 known species with the toxin, those 3 species are three most toxic. They're also the least toxic. --2601:648:8503:4467:855B:48B5:C644:C7CB (talk) 23:03, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Why is this a GA?
The writing in this is so badly organized as to look like the typical WikiCup random assemblage of facts with single words changed to avoid charges of plagiarism. Most toxic of three species? How many species are there according to the taxonomy? "Vital organs?" The liver. It's specific which vital organs.

Why is this a "Good Article?" --2601:648:8503:4467:855B:48B5:C644:C7CB (talk) 03:11, 27 June 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:6:805:0:0:0:56 (talk)
 * Your section here is very badly organised itself, I'm not even sure what issues you are referring to since you don't use direct quotes. Not sure where the term "vital organs" is used, for example. That said, I think the article could use a range map, as is present in all other bird FAs, whaddaya say, ? Not sure why I or no one else didn't bring it up before.

Line about frogs that is maybe supposed to say birds?
A sentence in the "Toxicity" section reads "These frogs also eat ants that naturally contain formic acid, which they can then metabolise and sequester in their tissues." I think it is supposed to say birds, and I would correct it to say so, but there is no source provided for me to verify the intended meaning of the sentence.
