– Move to capitalized titles, per MOS:COMMONNAMECAPS. Amazon parrots, per our article - "The genus name is a Latinized version of the name Amazone given to them in the 18th century by the Comte de Buffon, who believed they were native to Amazonian jungles". Therefore, as the name of a geographical area, I think "Amazon" is a proper noun and should thus be capitalized when used in a species name. Note that not all Amazons are found in *the* Amazon, but a lot of them indeed are. Looking back through the talkpage archives of WP:BIRDS, I see that this issue has been raised multiple times (one of those times was by myself) and several people have made similar points to mine above, but nothing ever seems to have been decided and no-one has ever started a move request. I thought it was about time now. Iloveparrots (talk) 18:46, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have amended two lines of the proposal to use "Saint" rather than "St." since those two pages were redirects rather than articles. {{replyto|SilverLocust}} (talk) 06:32, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
