Talk:Pallid cuckoo

Video
Nice video. Do you have a still? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gergyl (talk • contribs) 06:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Glen, have uploaded a recent pic, but have got problems getting it to look correctly formatted....any pointers? Aviceda  talk  09:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean now. I don't think there is an easy way to do that.  The  tag always skips right to the bottom of the taxobox.  It'll be OK when someone adds some text!


 * You should crop the still to centre the bird, for the primary ID pic. Vertical format I guess.--Gergyl (talk) 03:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I used to take original pics with bird centered but received lots of (constructive) criticism :::suggesting I should use the "rule of thirds", now I try and compose shots in this manner but have problems with centering of square thumbnails in web-photo albums!

 * Croppiing to third-points (or something similar) is fine for general pics, though it can look a bit odd for birds. I was just suggesting that for the main identification pic for a species account (where 'tis now), a centred pic is probably more appropriate.--Gergyl (talk) 04:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Glen, have just noticed the caption "immature" on the image of the bird that you've 'swapped' in the Taxobox, this was the bird that was singing(?) in the video-clip and I'm fairly sure it's a full-adult. Aviceda  talk  03:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nah, I just missed it. Yes, an adult bird--Gergyl (talk) 04:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

New Zealand Bird?
The Pallid Cuckoo is included on the list of New Zealand Birds page. Not sure which page is correct, but it should either be removed from there, or have New Zealand included as part of its habitat here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.128.4.201 (talk) 21:12, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
