Option 1

 * Article title
 * Skylarking (birds)
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is barely more than a definition. I would like to find more examples of birds who use this sort of display, and perhaps try to find theories on why this display was selected as a mate choice mechanism.


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Coprophagia


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has some measure of organization, but is missing many citations and could use more information. There are more suspected causes than those listed for the phenomenon in dogs, for example. In addition to adding new sources, I would make sure that those already used are being correctly applied after each fact, as they should be.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Polydipsia in birds


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has some level of organization and examples, but completely neglects the aspects of a birds digestive / urinary physiology that may also contribute to this odd behaviour. I would try to add this information, and add more citations and general information to what is already there


 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Lignophagia


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is simple, and mostly focused on horses. I would like to add more animals, or perhaps elaborate on causation in dogs / more domestic animals.


 * Sources

Option 5

 * Article title

'''Feedback (MF): The articles you've mentioned do indeed need some expansion. Make sure when you pick an article that there's a good body of work done on it so you don't get limited by the number of sources you have. '''
