To the casual reader, the phrase "uncertain affinities" in the lead is unclear. Could it be re-worded? The Interior(Talk) 02:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have tweaked this to try and make it clearer. What it really comes down to is that we cannot be certain exactly what kind of bird it was, though it seems quite likely that it was a starling rather than a thrush. Maias (talk) 03:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps there are still some bones on the island. it's typical that ground dwelling species dwindle when rats are introduced. that could also link it's affinity's.80.57.43.231 (talk) 10:47, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
