Australian brushturkey
Hello. I recently undid to Australian brushturkey. My main reasons for doing this were: I also note that you appear to be the author of the referenced CBN article. Referencing your own articles is allowed (see WP:SELFCITE) but extra care is needed. In this case it seems to me that your personal interest in this point has led you to give it too much weight.
 * The referenced article actually says: "We do not have a definitive answer to the question ‘Is the Canberra region ... within the historic range of the Australian Brush-turkey’."
 * Whether Canberra is or is not within the brush-turkey's historic range is a very niche question. It might belong within a larger discussion of it's historic range which is currently absent from the brush-turkey article.  It certainly does not belong in the article's lead.

If you think I'm wrong and that this point should stand, please consider working it into the Habitat section rather than simply re-reverting. Also, check that the link isn't broken (it was for me).
