Photographs of parrots

Some of the photographs are very good, but some could be better. Some parrot species on this page and other pages do not have a species photograph. If you have any parrot photographs that are your own work, you might like to upload them to the wiki, and they might be useful. Some of the photographs on the page would be better if they showed the whole bird from head to tail. It would be good to have a better variety of images of parrots on the wiki or on commons.

List of Aratinga

Wondering, Aratinga is the scientific genus name, and those are normally capitalized. Should the title therefore not be 'List of Aratinga? Or is it actually widely used a s a common name for these species?-- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 17:19, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I spent some time wondering if aratinga was pleural? If not, should the pleural form be used. Snowman (talk) 17:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

no idea. -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 00:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Aratinga is not widely used as a common name, as far as I am aware. Snowman (talk) 23:36, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to "list of Aratinga parakeets". I suppose it could have been "List of parakeets of the Aratinga genus". Snowman (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
