Article title
For some reason this article was titled in lowercase, so I moved it to capitalised version in accordance with agreed convention. jimfbleak 06:41, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Uploaded picture of pet cockatoo. I think he's going to be glad that he's famous. It would be nice if I could figure out the proper sizing (I still have the original photograph, and it's GNU because I took it myself.) -FB
- Upload the full-size picture, FB, and post a link to it here (if you like). I'll resize it and stick it in the taxobox. The present one is just a tad small. Tannin 03:49, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)
What are the dimensions for the taxobox? My camera takes 1600 x 1200. -FB
- Post the full size if you want to & I'll resize. Or else, if you want to re-size and sharpen yourself, the best taxobox pics are about 220 to 230 pixels wide. Within reason, height doesn't matter. Cheers, Tannin 06:42, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Okay, I've given you an image thawith a width of 220, the filename is gofcock2.png. Best of luck to you, Mr. Tannin. --FB
- Thankyou Frank. I had a crack at it, but I can't winkle much improvement at alll out of it - probably because the bird and the background are so similar in colour, though possibly it has to do with the png format. I think (hope) I could do considerably better with the full-size image, shrinking it when complete. Tannin
Alas, Tannin, the bird is not mine, the camera is on the shoddy side, and most of the house that the bird lives in is the same color as he is. FB
- That seems to leave only two choices. (a) Paint the house. (b) Paint the bird. ;) Tannin
Bird size
"Goffin's Cockatoos are the smallest of all Cacatuidae" ? Surely cockatiels are smaller. Nurg 08:45, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Cockatiels are not in the Cacatuidae group, but rather in the black cockatoo group. Nymphacae or some-such. (It's too early for me to research) FrankB
