• 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.

It's been found there but not recorded as breeding, and breeding records are rare from that part of Tasmania. I can only go on what the sources say. Casliber (talk · contribs)

• "The Black Currawong has been recorded in gardens in Hobart in winter."—also needs a ref.

• Is there anything to say about their distribution on King and Flinders Islands?
• "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?
• Some of the refs give the common name "Black Bell-magpie"; shouldn't that be mentioned in the article?
