  • Oppose. Good, but I think we can do better than this photo of a Magpie, given how common they are in Australia. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:16, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. The quality's there, but the background's not ideal, and, though the EV is clear now, I question how long it will stay in the taxobox. The article seems to chop and change images a lot. J Milburn (talk) 11:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The last image (of a juvenile) I added is still there (1 year). Noodle snacks (talk) 00:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Seems to exceed minimums and the feathers are nice and glossy. --I'ḏOne 17:39, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose I can't help but think this isn't the best we could do for this bird. Also I have found myself whilst looking at this picture trying to work out what the background is, which is not a good thing. JFitch (talk) 21:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
