Towards GA

Ok, what does this article need before it can go to GA? -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 19:34, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly exapnd the lead a little (?), and any comments on use as pets (?). Also, given it is a genus and not species, mroe focus on the genus' closest relatives taxonomically. Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs more material to be reasonably comprehensive which include:

Details of previous and present range.
Some material on Breeding Biology.
More material on Concervation Action. Also place IUCN status in taxobox.
Short descriptions of each species.
Please link the scientific and common names of the indiviual species to this wiki.
Links to Commons and Wikispecies. Also add relevant 'external links' and 'see also'.
