- Solid articles on good sources, no copyvio obvious. Sorry, I am not happy with the hook. Is it intentional that we don't get to know that it's a bird? ... that it's a very specific bamboo? "Rice and bamboo", - that's boring, no? I suggest you use the wording from the article, with the hard seeds explaining the name. I'd do it for you but then can't review. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks, Gerda. I think we can challenge the reader to discover what a seedcracker is, so how about:
- ALT1 ... that the lesser seedcracker enjoys rice and the large, hard seeds of carrycillo?
- ALT2 ... that the lesser seedcracker enjoys rice and the large, hard seeds of the bamboo carrycillo? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:42, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- , thank you, I prefer ALT2. Cracked ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
