WikiProject Birds To-do: edit MAJOR taxonomic overhaul (see here) Create Galloanserae For new cat: Category:Natural history of the Americas, replace "Hummingbird" article (by Some collaboration, hopefully) an article: along title LINE of: Hummingbirds--the bird of the Americas

This article could do with something on spellings ('miner' vs 'mynah' - my understanding is that the NM was named after the Indian Mynah but spelled differently for some reason?) --Calair 05:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Some of the earlier stuff wasn't referenced (colony size?) but I've included links to places I grabbed information from. I'm very new to Wikipedia so don't know quite how to do it all proper, yet. Included a couple of shots of the birds up close and personal, since I live with three of them and frequently blog about their exploits. I thought more information would be useful for people looking to welcome other birds back into their yards without taking drastic measures, since I believe the Noisy Miner is, although of least concern, still a protected species. And the amount of people who find them on the roads and take them in for unhappy lives or into a vet where they get put down is just miserable, really, when they should be put back up into the underbrush of where they're found. Hopefully the info I included will be of use. Scribblette 00:41, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
