[edit] Banggai Crow

This article is one just created by me, a new user. I had some trouble garnering information about their diet and nesting habits. Any other comments/feedback? I'd like to know how I could improve in the future. Australian Raven 15:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Some thoughts:
  • Which island were the specimens collected on? One of the bigger named ones or some small remote one?
  • What's causing the habitat loss that may be contributing to the bird's demise?
  • Mention that the bird was last seen in 1885 (or whatever).
  • Explain that the article's lack of information is due to the bird's extreme rarity/extinction (e.g. that NOBODY knows this information).
  • Detail the 1991 and 1996 expeditions that searched for it.
  • Explain why some scientists think it's only a subspecies of Slender-billed Crow; also, how does it differ from that species?
  • Measurements should be in both metric and imperial units (ie cm and in)
  • Is there any information about the two known specimens, other than where they were collected? Did the collectors observe any behaviour before collecting them?
I'd start with these... MeegsC | Talk 13:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
