Nice article, up to the usual high standards. It's new enough, long enough, reliably sourced, well-written and illustrated. The hook fact is interesting and sourced. I think there could be a more amusing version though. What do you think of the following? Prioryman (talk) 18:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

* ALT1 ... that the white-throated honeyeater (pictured) used to be gay, but isn't any more?

Possibly a trifle on the glib side but gave me a chuckle....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:34, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Reviewer needed to check ALT1 hook to see whether it's okay to run as is, since it was proposed by original reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Approving ALT1 as being amusing and having an inline citation. Either it or ALT0 could be promoted. The image is appropriately licensed and the rest of the review as per Prioryman. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:07, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

It's only a few weeks now until April Fool's Day. Might this be suitable for holding over until then? Prioryman (talk) 13:50, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
