What's with this template? It seems to confabulate language and communication. Which one is it about? The title in wikispace is "Animal language", but the title one the templace which appears in article space is "Animal communication". The lists of "communicative" birds (which ought to be every single one, they all communicate, redirects to the category "Talking birds", which are birds mimicing human speech (a sensible category, but nowhere near the same meaning as "communicating birds"). I think this template needs a good long coffee-soaked rethink before it gets used, because it's not being used well now. Pete.Hurd 19:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
