 * Symbol question.svg Attractive bird, solid article on good sources. That hook would not make me click. How about mentioning Peru? And/or rarely seen? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:07, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * I have done more than 100 review this year, and usually have have not said the obvious (new enough, long enough etc), but what's missing, - check my reviews: more often than not I don't simply approve but engage the author in order to improve the article. I believe that is more in the interest of the project than telling an experienced editor that she was able to follow the rules. - A hook by an author I never met before is a different story.
