Just a couple of points i noticed in a quick glance at the article.
"Some, like Hoatzin, doves, and flamingos, also are unique in feeding their young esophageal secretions."
If the animal feeds its young cud, I think it is technically inaccurate to call it secretions. Phlegm is an esophageal secretion, cud is stomach regurgitate.
"Species: O. hoazin"
Another technical point. The Genus: Opisthocomus is correctly pointed out, but the species would just be "hoazin." Genus/Species of Opisthocomus hoazin.
Comments?
- Can you call something unique if others have a similar property? How about unusual? 209.183.190.169 12:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
