Dunnock or Hedge Accentor

edit

I suggest that the main article should go under the heading of "Hedge Accentor" because that is the official name in the birding community. MortimerCat 13:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

What birding community? Everyone I know calls it Dunnock. jimfbleak 15:40, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
On the long list of "what links here" which would have to be fixed if the page is moved, there is one link via Hedge Accentor and two via Hedge Sparrow, so little evidence that the Wikipedia community objects to Dunnock. RSPB uses Dunnock, only BOU uses accentor, and that has no currency in the real world. jimfbleak 15:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree, everyone calls it a Dunnock, but I have seen Accentor being used more and more in Bird guides etc. I accept that it should stay as Dunnock for the moment. MortimerCat 16:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Broke up the intro section into appearance, call, territoriality, and habitat. Also included section on parental care. Made some line edits to improve flow. VAleles (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
