• Delete: sounds like original work —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowmanradio (talk • contribs)
• Delete, original research (albeit good-faith). Demiurge 12:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Cockatoo if sourced, else delete. Laïka 13:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research. I can't find any articles about this behaviour. but if sources can be cited, then a merge to cockatoo would be appropriate. -- Whpq 13:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research. I love the pictures though - perhaps they could be used in the cockatoo or Umbrella Cockatoo articles? --Kurt Shaped Box 13:51, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Author says that This interesting behavior has only been observed in the Umbrella cockatoo, or Cacatua alba by the author. It has been reported in other species.. I wonder whether that means only the author has observed it at all, or whether the author has only observed it in that species, though others have reported it in other species. Citing the "reports" would be good. Perhaps the author might like to ask about this on the reference desk rather thn in mainspace, as the article includes a request for information. Delete as it stands, unless sources are cited. Tonywalton  | Talk 14:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per WP:NOT and WP:NOR, I see nothing within the article to suggest a merge into the genus article cockatoo, with references if this is a species unique trait then maybe merge into a species article. Gnangarra 14:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT and no original research. Hello32020 16:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Great pictures of cute bird. Original research. Edison 00:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There are no sources for this phenomenon that I can find. Nothing at Google [1], Google Books [2] or Google Scholar [3] suggesting that if there has been something published on this phenomenon, it hasn't been given this name. Capitalistroadster 03:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• Merge or delete as per Laika and Longhair. Keep the pictures though if not a copyvio, they look good. JROBBO 04:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOR.--cj | talk 05:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the pictures if there's a place for them, delete the original research. Seraphimblade 06:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge I had a Cockatoo and they do like to hang from fingers. I say it is not really a notable subject, and without references it should be outright deleted. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 16:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Nice photos! Strong keep per WP:IAR (which is, by the way, an official policy). 38.100.34.2 00:38, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
