Brown Treecreeper
[edit]
- ... that the Brown Treecreeper moves up and down treetrunks in a spiral fashion while foraging?

All the sources look good, it's well beyond 5x expansion, and no problems with the article itself. The hook isn't as zippy as it could be. What about this:
- ALT1... that the Brown Treecreeper spirals up and down treetrunks while foraging?

- What about something like ALT3 "... that the breeding female Brown Treecreeper transports the heavier nest materials and may discard material delivered by other members of the group?" That made me smile when I read it. :) I also liked "ALT2... that in Brown Treecreeper nests attended by helpers, breeding is four times more successful and significantly more offspring are produced". (BTW, I thought references went after the punctuation, not before. But I'm really new and just feeling my way around.) Tlqk56 (talk) 22:37, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
- You're correct about punctuation going before references. I think I fixed them all, but if you see that elsewhere, definitely move punctuation in front. —Torchiest talkedits 23:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
