Talk:List of parrots

Missing species
Is it just me or is there like.... only one species of cockatoo on this page? And what the heck is the point of having all those birds on here if you can't even tell me anything about them. They should be on a different list. An alphebetical list for birds you do have links to and another for parrots that you don't. I don't really know how to write the whole Article on these birds but i know quite a bit about them. We need more cockatoos on here folks. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.50.186.211 (talk • contribs)
 * They're all listed now, though they don't have articles yet.Brucemoko 17:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to put up at least a token page for each species lacking one. In the interest of doing it quickly, I'm using just Juniper & Parr. At my current rate (under one bird per day), this will take the rest of the year. Note: I don't have public domain pictures unless some book I have has declared them fair game, which I doubt (the only good books I have are Juniper&Parr, Forshaw (old & new), & Alderton).

 * I've split the list into sections by initial letter, and put a compact TOC at the top. I think it helps - I'd like other opinions. Should there be sections for letters with no entries? (currently Q,X & Z, but I know Q Q will eventually get one).Brucemoko 18:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

This list is grossly incomplete. There's at least EIGHT genus of Neotropical parrots not mentioned. Where's Forpus? Bolborhynchus? Touit? Pionites? Seriously, what the hell? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.105.115.201 (talk) 23:06, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing that out. If you find anymore missing genera or species, please let me know  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 16:55, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Confusion with format and repetitions in table
I have found the table for the first time today, and I am a bit confused by it. If the aims of the table were made clearer then editors would be able to work towards these aims. The binomial names are duplicated frequently, probably intentionally, where there are more than one common name for a parrot. I am not sure what the third column is for, if there are "synonyms", why do they not present in the first column of common names? I think that the presence of intentional repetitions should be clearly explained on the page. Snowman 17:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I just made the table sortable, the data is only what was already there; it's just that the table makes the repetition more obvious. I've no idea of the rationale to the synonyms. Presumably the synonyms could be absorbed into column 1, and the third column lost or retitled for comments latter would be easier. Jimfbleak 05:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Scrolling list
Does this fit on your screen (left to right, not up and down)?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 00:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * How about now?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 05:01, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Without the "width" parameter it'll end up looking like this.  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 16:27, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Ages
Now-blocked editor created an un-sourced page with many parrots and their ages listed. He's blocked and I'm going to move the page to User:Christian Orellana/Parrot lifespan shortly so the information is not lost through PROD/AFD. If the information is not used (with sources!) within a few months, the page can be deleted. If the information is used, the page should be retained for its edit history. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  17:44, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The page was created at Parrot Lifespan and moved to Parrot lifespan. I'm putting this here so people doing "What links here" on these soon-to-be-deleted pages can find this discussion.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  17:56, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Range maps
Some of the range maps (especially for lovebirds) are NOT actually "range maps" but rather maps where the country/countries they are found in are highlighted. (Unless Fischer's lovebird and Yellow0collared lovebird have the exact same range, both of which conform exactly to the national borders of Tanzania.) This is... just bad. A wrong map does no one any good. Who are the people who make nice range maps like for some other species? Is there some thread where one could make a request for a new map to be made? 147.226.195.15 (talk) 01:04, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
