 * Tweaked grammar in hook. One species migrates, three species migrate. Yoninah (talk) 22:37, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg I'm more cautious than I used to be. The source states "... the only parrots that undergo regular seasonal migrations across a major body of salt water", so we need a hook that reflects this. There might be parrots, for example, that migrate thousands of miles in South America without crossing the sea. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:26, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay changed it above - the book calls it "migration in the classic sense" but I clarified it to align more closely with the sources. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:34, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
