If kakapo means night-parrot, what does kakadoo mean?

[edit]

Despite the existence of a chapter named etymology, there is no info about the meaning of the original word in the article, if there was an indegenous one. Such a meaning can be reasonably supposed existing since the kakapo's name is Maori for night parrot. --Ghettobuoy (talk) 13:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing the current feature image with a different one?

[edit]

The current version of the Cockatoo article is this photo of a galah. Personally I think that this choice of image is a little incongruous. Can I suggest that we instead have an image that features a variety of different species of cockatoos together, similar to this image that heads the 'Eagle' article. Thoughts on this?

Something about cockatoo intelligence?

[edit]

Considering adding most of the content from Tanimbar_corella#Intelligence to this article too, as it seems that this species seems to particularly well-studied in terms of its intelligence. Thoughts? Iloveparrots (talk) 18:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
