– Invert the redirections as the consensus and guidelines recommend not to capitalise the common (vernacular) names of species. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style and Manual of Style. Coreyemotela (talk) 09:12, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Support, finally. If this is proceeding according to some category-walking patterns, be it taxonomic or geographical, that seems like a good idea.  And who's taking on the downcasing in the actual article text? There's talk elsewhere of using bots or AWB scripts to move a lot of these articles and decapitalize within them, but I suspect there are a lot of devils in the details, and the work might as well get started manually while they figure those out.  A deeper question is how many of these are at IOC names that are not actually the WP:COMMONNAMEs, and thus need a different kind of move, for article titling policy reasons.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  13:09, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy support and close as per consensus. Red Slash 01:49, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * COMMENT - I don't think there is yet a true consensus on the issue of capitalization for bird articles. A lot depends on where you have been discussing the issue.  Look at WT:BIRDS and the consensus is to leave them capitalized.  Look at MOS and the consensus is to not capitalize.  One page is the haunt of subject matter experts, the other the haunt of Stylization experts.  Both groups are convinced that their view has consensus.  That said, I am leaning towards opposing the moves... on the grounds that while overall source usage is mixed, the majority of sources on the higher end of the reliability scale all seem to capitalize.
