Abbott's Booby
[edit]( )
- ... that if an Abbott's Booby (juvenile pictured) falls to the ground, it is unable to take off and is likely to die from starvation?

- Length (5x exp) and date are fine. The hook implies that the bird can't then become airborne again, whereas the source shows there are exceptions to this. I suggest the following alternative:
- ALT1:... that if an Abbott's Booby (juvenile pictured) falls to the ground, it will starve unless it can catch the wind and take off again?

- I changed one tiny bit of grammer and I have a small suggestion for the very topmost paragraph where you say they occur in a national park, perhaps you could say up there somewhere that it is administered by or in the territory of Australia? I found the article very interesting and I think it would make a very good DYK, and no I didn't know that they couldn't take off again after a fall! Both photos were originally from Flikr and were reviewed by an admin as to their status and useability, so I'm going to assume they are ok. Ellin Beltz (talk) 03:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
