[edit]

Common names of birds are not proper nouns, so should not be capitalized. See Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization). -- Heron

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization) actually says "The capitalization on the common names of species has been hotly debated in the past and has remained unresolved. As a matter of truce both capitalized and non-capitalized (except for proper names) are acceptable, but a redirect should be created from the alternative form." Personally I prefer capitals (and the distinction is occasionally useful, as here - "jay" can be used as a generic term for all the various species of jay, "Jay" to refer specifically to the Eurasian Jay.)

[edit]

Here is a link to a nice HD video of a Eurasion Jay, anting. This behaviour is quite rare so I feel I was lucky to capture it You may wish to include it in your Wiki article on bird preening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=314-HtWIOps Regards blutey Blutey (talk) 20:55, 31 October 2011 Blutey (talk) 03:55, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Difference

[edit]

HBW classifies Garrulus glandarius split as garrulus glandarius subspecies include brandtii, atricapilius, specific status bispecularis and leucotis, but is there any reference for bispecularis and leucotis to split? is there a reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samweithe4 (talkcontribs) 02:30, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The picture from below seems low quality

[edit]

The picture from below seems low quality, but I'm not sure if it needs to be deleted. It may be useful for identifying a jay.

Concur, it's really bad. Removed. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:02, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Distribution and Habitat specific to UK???

[edit]

Some of the text seems very much UK-specific. There is a reference to the National Trust. Much of the distribution area have no oaks. Are the references to oaks specific to the UK? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.27.127.183 (talk) 09:28, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
