Talk:Puerto Rican parakeet

Some minor comments

 * I don't know how to verify the following sentence: "The last bird was seen in 1882, by W. W. Brown, who collected the specimen which now resides at the Field Museum in Chicago." I don't know where to look in Wood's book, if the information is there.
 * Naturalis almost says this, it says "caught" rather than seen. Wily D  04:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I marked the first sentence as coming from Naturalis. --Hans Adler (talk) 08:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Is it obvious that the pigeon hunters must have been from Puerto Rico? It doesn't seem to be in the sources.
 * James Bond says that they were from Puerto Rico. Wily D 03:08, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * What he actually says (p. 7) is that the species "is said to have occurred formerly in Puerto Rico". I am assuming that you misread this and removing the Puerto Rico part. Please reinstate if I am wrong. --Hans Adler (talk) 08:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll look again. The Encyclopedia of Vanished Species is not explicit as to the origin of these pigeon hunters. Wily D  11:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think you're right and I'm crazy. Nobody seems to be explicit about the origin of these pigeon hunters.  Both Puerto Rico and Hispaniola seem plausible, so we'll just leave it out. Wily D  11:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Apart from that I have verified everything that isn't cited to Day.
