My Idea
Ok, my idea. This page should have a pic of a parrot, and a pic of a cockatoo to clarify the two groups and how parrot is used. What about that? Kim van der Linde 19:50, 21 October 2007 (CDT)
- If the article is going to remain as short as it is, that seems right.
- I'm not convinced that it should stay as short as it is though. From a biology standpoint, it's probably sufficient as it is but try to imagine the reasons that someone might look up "parrot." I imagine that most of the people visitng this page will want to know more about "what parrots are like" and "where I can go to see some parrots" and "why parrots are so colorful." Most of that information will probably appear in the articles for specific species, but it also needs to be condensed somewhere that casual searchers can find it. --Joe Quick 20:03, 21 October 2007 (CDT)
- Joe, all parrot specific information will be under Psittacidae, while all information about cockatoos will be under that group. So, it won't be under each species specific. Kim van der Linde 11:28, 22 October 2007 (CDT)
