- Age and length are fine. No copvio/plagiarism concerns (Earwig = 26% but it's a quote). The hook is entertaining, and reliably sourced. I think it's good to go. KJP1 (talk) 05:55, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Launchballer: I believe I already addressed the concerns in the discussion. The sources cited are reliable and the hook is confirmed by the sources. Di (they-them) (talk) 20:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at the article, I agree. I just tried to rearrange the article so that it would not deserve {{lead extra info}}, but did not see the words "African grey" in either of the sources in the lead. I think this should be added to the body and cited.--Launchballer 08:04, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

- @Di (they-them): Please address the above. For the record, I can live with Naples News, as it is a) a subsidiary of USA Today, which is listed green at WP:RSP (i.e. there probably isn't zero factchecking), and b) the article is being used for a not terribly controversial claim about a dead animal. I'm happy to take it. I would still like to see "African grey" sourced.--Launchballer 12:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think your response about Naples News is good. If necessary, I can remove it since it's just reinforcing claims by other sources as well. As for "African grey", that's just a synonym for Grey parrot, so it's just a matter of semantics. I'll change the wording in the article to say "Grey parrot" instead just to be safe.

- I have raised this question at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Listicle as a RS? RoySmith (talk) 15:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Are all grey parrots African? If not, this needs a source.--Launchballer 07:38, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Grey parrot and African grey refer to a specific species of parrot, Psittacus erithacus. Di (they-them) (talk) 12:35, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
