I believe the the RBM is the fastest flying bird and can sustain reach 80 mph during level flight. Should this be mentioned? It seems more than trivial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.139.138 (talk) 14:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Female image

@Needsmoreritalin: I think your female infobox image is actually a juvenile male (mainly looking at the "black eye"). I went ahead and restored the old infobox photo of a female for now, but if there's reason to think I'm wrong, or if you have another high quality photo of a female, feel free to put it in (the current/old one is one I took, but it's not as good as the ones you uploaded -- it's just definitely a female :) ). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:50, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
