--- Ara (sic!) sp. !??? ---

Is this some kind of sarcastic comment?
 * first sign your comments. and secondly no. The term sic! was common by some biologists until the 19th century for first scientific descriptions. --Melly42 (talk) 09:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

IUCN status
It would appear the IUCN has removed this form their website? Maybe they don't find it valid anymore? FunkMonk (talk) 00:55, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Appears they don't find it valid, but the recently described subfossil may change this. Here their earlier entry is archived: FunkMonk (talk) 14:22, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

This page says: "This taxon is Not Recognised as a species by BirdLife International". Maybe on the next update it will change. Dr. Lenaldo Vigo (talk) 02:09, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I was thinking along the same lines... Though I think such changes can take years... FunkMonk (talk) 17:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Wrong link
The link to the Williams article goes to a different article about bats instead. Brutannica (talk) 15:27, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Lesser Antillean macaw
Just curious, but what's the opposite? Is there a Greater Antillean macaw? :) -  Floydian  τ ¢ 19:29, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Though this is of course in jest, it touches on something that has annoyed me. Since this bird is only known from Guadeloupe, but other species of macaw may have lived on other Lesser Antillean islands, it should really be called the Guadeloupe macaw, since there would be other Lesser Antillean macaws. But that name is the official name according to BirdLife International. By that logic, the Cuban macaw could just as well have been called the "Greater Antillean macaw", as Cuba is part of the Greater Antilles... It is probably because this bird was also once thought to have lived on both Guadeloupe and Martinique, hence it would need a name implying a wider range... FunkMonk (talk) 19:36, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
