[edit] split

The latest Handbook of the Birds of the World has the New Zealand Fantails in a species of their very own (with the Chatham subspecies). Interesting, no? Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] male & female

We have a pair around our house - i was wondering if it is the male that is the larger of the two? Alexander110 (talk) 01:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

In most passerines it is indeed the males that tend to be larger, but it is only a rule of thumb. So, probably, but not certainly. Sabine's Sunbird talk 01:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
