Support probably should have been more hasty uploading a similar picture I had from Canberra. Well done. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:34, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That one wasn't of a female was it? The one we have in the taxobox at the moment is awful. Sabine's Sunbird talk 19:21, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, I'll have a look later. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah, Support also. Sabine's Sunbird talk 22:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The prominent railing the bird is sitting on is distracting. Given that these birds are very common, the composition counts against this photo. Nick-D (talk) 10:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that it's distracting. In fact, I think it's an interesting aspect to the shot. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Given these birds are "...common and very widespread bird both in urban and rural areas", I don't think it's inappropriate for it to be sitting on a rail in a suburban garden, as it is part of the representative environment and possibly even adds to EV.
