I skimmed the wikification guide, and still don't know what I need to do to wikify this page. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to the appropriate information. Thanks. Evenprime 00:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good to me, but I just found Wiki and started my first bird page. Psittacini (I used to have a Jardine's) I put the links and pic up first, and now will start writing. I will add to your fine page, as I now have a Noble. You can see him here. Emmy You might post to the parrot or bird talk page, where you'll get a lot more input than here. You have a cute Hahn's too. TheBirdMan 11:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only difference that is not mentioned is that a Noble Macaw and a Hahn's Macaw are not the same bird. Noble Macaws are diopsittica nobilis cumanesis, and Hahn's are dopsittica nobilis nobilis. They come from slightly different regions.

Noble Macaws have slightly longer bodies, wings and heads. Their beaks are horn coloured. The Hahn's have a smaller facial patch too and dark grey beaks. Otherwise, it's really nice to see an article about these guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babetteq (talk • contribs) 15:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
