Please correct link
editIn "Behaviour" --> "Ecology" the name pied flycatcher (sic) is marked as a link.
It SHOULD, logically, link to THE species that is meant, that would be pied flycatcher.
Unfortunately/ with less sense, what it really is linked to (until s.o. will hopefully change it,) is a disambiguation page, where two options are given, the Eurasian species and an Australian bird.
The sentence containing the link is: "Great tits compete with pied flycatchers for nesting boxes, and can kill prospecting flycatcher males." (You find it right after footnote-number 49, its own number being 50, very much to the end of the chapter).
Yes, readers CAN figure out which species is more likely the right one and choose from the options on the disambiguation page themselves, but I'd much rather just give the correct link. (A pity I can't do it myself.) Hopefully a person with a "key" for the "lock" ;-) will do it :-) ...*please*...
p.s.
I put the '(sic)' in to show that the article author here used the 'p' instead of 'P', the latter seeming more conventional in Wikipedia articles?
However now I see that the 'European (sic) sparrowhawk' is the only English species name written with a capital 'E' in this chapter, so probably THIS one should be changed and not the small 'p' - sorry.

- Thanks for spotting, I've changed that to lead to the actual article EditorInTheRye (talk) 09:37, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Mating/ courting behaviour?
editIt would be good to have a section about "courting" "rituals", the way & by which (potential) partner the nesting place is chosen, if e.g. the male presents the female with material, if they make several nests and choose only one later etc. etc.
Excuse me if I have overlooked this in case it already is described somewhere - but I think it isn't?
So, expert people with writing rights on locked article, that feels much needed.
