 * Comment She was playing coy in refusing to show her tail? Saffron Blaze (talk) 11:35, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Pretty much. This is the best female I have after a few days of shooting. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:00, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support I can tell a lot of time and effort has gone into these pictures. It's paid off. TehGrauniad (talk) 20:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. My girlfriend demanded that I "promote the mango bird at once". Interpret that how you will. J Milburn (talk) 11:31, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support: Somewhat less stunning than your usual pictures, but certainly encyclopedic and of good technical quality. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:36, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose a little blurry on the feet and tail, and the bird's shape is a bit difficult to see from this angle. I strongly prefer your other photo of this bird. Pinetalk 08:22, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * One's a male, one's female. Separate nominations due to sexual differentiation (different markings and whatnot) Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:41, 27 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose this one as a separate nom; I would support both being combined into a set. Clegs (talk) 09:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the difference? Chances are they would appear together at POTD anyway, and there are people that will oppose because it is a set. JJ Harrison (talk) 10:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
