::Funny - this one says in one bit " The only species of Artamidae that has not been recorded nesting in mistletoes is the Black Currawong (Strepera fuliginosa), which is endemic to Tasmania, where mistletoes are absent" - so a slightly unusual fact but only true because mistletoes don't grow in Tassie.

Reviewer: Ucucha 16:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
How do the King and Flinders subspecies differ?
- The information is scant, basically wing measurements, and there are no differences between the two island subspecies with each other. I am assuming they have been kept separate to each other from their disparate ranges. I have some measurements to add Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:39, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
"The Black Currawong has expanded into the northeast corner of the island, to Musselroe Bay and Cape Portland."—can you cite this? It seems at odd with the previous statement that it doesn't breed in the NE.
"The Black Currawong has been recorded in gardens in Hobart in winter."—also needs a ref.
- done Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:52, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Is there anything to say about their distribution on King and Flinders Islands?
- done. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:24, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
"This practice was tolerated by the National Parks Authority until 1995, when upon finding the birds problematic, began actively discouraging people from feeding wildlife"—what does "problematic" mean here?
- becoming a nuisance - thieving and opening things etc. I got some mention of their habits around humans in the rest of the section. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:32, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Some of the refs give the common name "Black Bell-magpie"; shouldn't that be mentioned in the article?
- Yes. done. Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:45, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

- Oxyspirura streperae on Kangaroo Island in Strepera fuliginosa.
- the fulltext mentions S. fuliginosa on Kangaroo Island, which is wrong - as below, what I suspect has happened is that the collector was aware of the sooty-plumaged versicolor of Kangaroo Island and presumed (wrongly) that it was fuliginosa.

- This apparently talks about Strepera fuliginosa in South Australia, which I don't quite understand.
Ucucha 06:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- I can understand -from reading, Strepera fuliginosa and Strepera (versicolor) arguta which are similarly black-plumaged are often confused, even in by birdwatchers in Emu (!) The black-plumaged versicolor in South Australia I recall being called arguta in some old notes somewhere, so I can imagine this being a source of muddle. Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
