One thing I noticed from the briefest of glances at the article, are the words "in size" and "in color" necessary in the lead? Seems like they don't add much info but do add bulk to the wording.

This article looks very beautifully done, I hope I get more of a chance to read it later!

*"Other objectives included the establishment of two separate viable wild populations (500 or more individuals for 5 years)..." |

*"A captive population was established in the Luquillo Aviary in 1973... Another was established in 1993..." |

30mm or 30 cm?
On general description it says "Females and males measure 30 mm on average." I don´t much about this bird, butI belive that 30mm (3cm) is to litle. Can somebody confirm this? Nnfolz 20:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

GA
This is probably not too far off GA, which would be a good place to park before a tilt at FAC...[[::User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[::User talk:Casliber|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 04:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well I bought a 300-page book about the Amazon on February but mid-terms are currently holding me back from doing any significant contributions, I should be able to add a few thousand bytes to this article by this month's end. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Kewl...those are the best kind of resource. It should really romp home at FAC come early march then. I am sure your edits will pop up on my watchlist and it should be an easy run in (be nice to blue some of those redlinks in the meantime...)

Elevating to FA has been a goal of mine for some time now. I, however, do not have time nor the resource (the 1987 Snyder book) to complete the task. Joelito (talk) 15:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- CHQ, when you said the Amazon above, you did mean this birdy and not the river didn't you? WP:Birds is quite lively at the moment (you never can tell when wikiprojects go into hibernation like WP:dinosaurs has done this year) so now would be a great time to disgorge some facts into this article for a crack at GA and FA if you have the time yet, as there are a few of us round to help.

Quick notes
One thing I noticed from the briefest of glances at the article, are the words "in size" and "in color" necessary in the lead? Seems like they don't add much info but do add bulk to the wording. delldot on a public computer talk 09:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
A couple more minor things:
- "The wing primaries and primary coverts are dark blue." What are wing primaries and primary coverts?
- "The underside of the feathers have a slightly different hue with the wings' underside feathers, which can be seen during flight, being brightly blue with a yellow-green tail." This sentence is a little awkward and confusing.
This article looks very beautifully done, I hope I get more of a chance to read it later! delldot on a public computer talk 09:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
