Merger

It would be better to add to this article rather than merge it. It is a discrete topic and no clear benefit would be derived by submerging it in a much bigger article.Rosserlloyd (talk) 14:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good if there are reliable sources cited for the term being more than a casual phrase. Ideally there should be a citation to the existence of the technical term with a definition in a dictionary of ornithology or a journal article reviewing the subject - defining the term etc. Otherwise we could have "bird anvils", "drumming posts", "lekking arenas" and a whole load of similar terms. These are all good for wikitionary but borderline here. Shyamal (talk) 15:53, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
