birds is found here guidelines for layout of bird articles feel free to request assistance with references at the reference request desk and any bird related assistance on the talk page bird names and article titles see also wikipedia manual of style animals plants and other organisms and wikipedia naming conventions fauna in general use the formal common name for article titles peregrine falcon not falco peregrinus wandering albatross not diomedea exulans splendid fairywren not malurus splendens sometimes exceptions need to be made some individual creatures usually newly discovered ones do not yet have a formal common name and some groups are known only by their scientific name ornithology publications usually capitalise the vernacular name of a species to differentiate it from more general terms 1 following discussions it has been decided that capitals will be used on wikipedia only for parts of the name that are proper names consistent with practice in more general audience publications 2 in publications that capitalise the phrase in australia there are many common starlings clearly indicates a large number of sturnus vulgaris while the phrase in australia there are many common starlings could indicate several different types of starling being common clearer formulation must be used in a non capitalising publication like wikipedia e g in australia the common starling is numerous vs in australia many types of starling are common add binomial names in round brackets parentheses to reduce any ambiguity if necessary the international ornithological congress ioc which has tried to standardise the english language vernacular names of birds uses capitalised names the ioc names have been used in the vast majority of wikipedia articles including their titles in lower case except where parts of the name refer to a proper noun e g new zealand scaup wikipedia bird article titles may diverge from the ioc list when the most common name in reliable sources is different from the ioc name 3 a non ioc name might also be used in article text in a non ornithological context e g the animal related folklore of a traditional culture or in a specific ornithological context such as the nomenclature of an organisation other than ioc article title make redirects from white necked raven white necked raven white necked raven prairie warbler prairie warbler when creating a new article for a species make sure the title is correctly capitalised and create a redirect from the capitalised ioc name for example name the article bald eagle and write bald eagle in the text but create a redirect to it from bald eagle see the table at right for more examples you should also create redirects for any names regularly used for distinctive subspecies for example redirects for pale bellied brent goose light bellied brent goose black brant and dark bellied brent goose all point to our brant goose article in this case redirect links should also be made for the full scientific names of those subspecies as well per this discussion and as amended in this discussion the consensus style to write the combination of common name plus scientific name in the lead is bolded common name followed by bolded italicised scientific name in parentheses the house sparrow passer domesticus is a passerine bird summary of naming guidelines common names the common name of a particular species is not capitalised except where proper names appear e g common blackbird metallic starling emu ostrich new zealand scaup the name of a group of species is not capitalised e g birds thrush family kingfishers turtle doves marsh harriers alternative common names should be mentioned where appropriate with bold type in the opening line of the article if they are in wide use elsewhere in the article with or without the bold type if they are less used this is usually a matter for individual judgement summary of naming guidelines scientific names orders families and other taxa above genus level are written with an initial capital and in roman not italic text birds belong to the class aves ducks are members of the family anatidae and the order anseriformes the names of genera are always italicised and capitalised turdus falco anas species epithets are never capitalised always italicised and always preceded by either the genus name or a one letter abbreviation of it alcedo pusilla or a pusilla cisticola juncidis or c juncidis the abbreviation is used only when it is unambiguous in the context of the article the placements in families and genera as well as the boundaries of the species are themselves not always unambiguous or without debate although the ioc list is usually up to date new species and large scale phylogenetic studies may sometimes suggest alternate placements both binomial combinations as well as higher level classification these alternate positions are best included with citations with the taxonomic history older combinations and rationale explained with citations in the article regional lists it is recommended for the sake of consistency that regional lists are named as list of birds of region rather than list of region adjective birds article sections most of the bird species articles have a common structure which include various combinations of the following taxonomy and systematics including subspecies relation to related species history of naming alternate names and evolution description often including details on immature plumage moult vocalisations identification and similar species distribution and habitat behaviour and ecology breeding food and feeding threats or survival in culture or relationship to humans status additional sections may be included to cover aspects that are particularly interesting or well studied in that species taxoboxes barn swallow h r rustica scientific classification kingdom animalia phylum chordata class aves order passeriformes family hirundinidae genus hirundo species h rustica binomial name hirundo rustica linnaeus 1758 range of h rustica breeding range resident year round non breeding range in general bird articles should have taxoboxes taxonomy infoboxes this is something we have inherited from the wikiproject tree of life there are many examples there to look at see wikipedia automated taxobox system for the full details on constructing a taxobox there are several example bird taxoboxes suitable for cut and paste insertion into entries family taxobox example with picture genus taxobox example species taxobox example species taxobox with subspecies example adding images images in bird articles should be added with care and captioned carefully if the taxobox is empty consider adding one that shows the full bird preferably facing into the text if the species is sexually dimorphic you may consider adding a second image to the taxobox or distribute the other images in the text carefully do not add images to the lead section if a bird article is well illustrated examine the quality of the images before adding your own and do not add an image just because you took the picture if the species has multiple subspecies with distinctive plumage variations make a note of the features in the caption and the general region not to the accuracy of a delivery address accurate locations and dates should be included in the image metadata on wikimedia commons photos of live birds are preferred in an article s taxobox but artwork or photos of stuffed specimens can be used if the first are unavailable or of inadequate quality illustrate specific behaviours or plumages in the appropriate location if absolutely necessary add a gallery towards the end of the article to accommodate multiple images there is no need to explicitly add a section called gallery the captions ideally need to add value to the text calling attention to specifics mentioned in the article where possible if the text flow is being disrupted or if the images are flowing into the reference section it probably means that there are more images than needed for the article consider researching and improving the article with more text remember that people can always visit the images in the appropriate commons categories or gallery pages which should linked using the appropriate template at the end of the article distribution maps a good way to show a bird s area of occurrence is to add a distribution map see the above example on how species with tiny areas of occurrence should get larger maps which are displayed thumbnailed as for colors the following are generally accepted as literature standard for example by the handbook of birds of the world breeding visitor non breeding visitor resident introduced range for species that do not migrate a single color can be used as in the example at sea range of birds like albatrosses is usually marked in darker or lighter blue small islands can be marked with a larger dot and or shown magnified in inserts migration flyways are often indicated with arrows areas of irruptive occurrence more regular and plentiful than casual vagrancy such as in crossbill species can be indicated by colored stippling it is good to use basic web safe colors if using nonstandard coloration e g arctic tern or silvery pigeon it is important to annotate them former ranges of extinct birds can be indicated in dark grey hbw standard or red many other the former is probably preferable due to unambiguity the hbw standard colors have one major advantage they can also due to differences in brightness be distinguished by almost all people with some sort of color blindness linking to definitions in glossary of bird terms the headlined glossary article wikipedia s o...
