Warning, citation to avoid
Someone had used oiseaux-birds as a citation for size. This citation should be strictly avoided, per WP:CIRCULAR. As stated on the page, they use wikipedia as one of their sources. For a long time, the wikipedia article claimed the Martial Eagle has a wingspan of 188–260 cm, even citing Ferguson-Lees & Christie. This is wrong: Ferguson-Lees & Christie says its wingspan is 188–227 cm. I am not aware of any reliable reference that provides a higher figure. I hope this warning minimizes the risk that the measurements are changed based on oiseaux-birds again. 62.107.236.167 (talk) 14:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Local names
Surely, there are local names and legends associated with the bird in cultures where the bird lives. I do not know reliable sources for cultural notes relating to African birds, but this is clearly missing in this entry. Shyamal (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
