was wondereing if it would be sensible to mention somewhere the cultural/folklore/symbolic importance of the chough in cornwall somewhere, maybe in a seperate section or else a link to the culture of cornwall article and expand it there?
Article is well and professionally written, easy to read, and well researched. It passes all six of the Good Article criteria with flying colors, IMHO. Pictures are very good as well. Good work! The article will be promoted. Cheers! Dr. Cash ( talk) 03:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Per the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds, this article is on a subspecies that has no English name and little notability.
The image in the lead (the current one is cropped from the old image File:Alpenkrähe-Pyrrhocorax.jpg) is described as a "Alpenkrähe, Pyrrhocorax Pyrrhocorax barbarus" on commons, but in the infobox it is described as a "P. p. erythropthalmus". I do not know which version is correct. Snowman ( talk) 11:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
"The first-year survival rate of the juveniles is 72.5 percent". The inline reference gives Juvenile Survival: 0.430 (in First-Year). Snowman ( talk) 16:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
A fine article, but at the risk of ruffling a feather or two, I have question. Accepting that, as the history of Terminology of the British Isles suggests, the geographical descriptors of these islands seem specifically designed to maximise conflict and confusion, I wonder if "Its eight subspecies breed on mountains and coastal cliffs from Ireland and western parts of Great Britain..." is absolutely correct. I don't have lots of stats to hand but the RSPB map suggests that many of the most romantic places in the UK (from the Chough's point of view) are in Anglesey, Man, Islay, Jura and Arran rather than on mainland Great Britain as such. Being of timid disposition I prefer to avoid "British Isles", which annoys some of my Irish friends, so perhaps "western parts of Wales and Scotland"? Ben Mac Dui 15:33, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Nice picture of Machair but outwith the distribution of the bird. Perhaps an image from around Ardnave or Machir Bay on Islay, or from Colonsay could be substituted. Semudobia ( talk) 18:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Please change "In 2012, the red-billed choughs were living free in the central valley area of Durrell Wildlife Park, and the Trust expects colonisation of the coastal areas of Jersey in the following years" to "In 2013, juveniles were released onto the north coast of Jersey using soft-release methods developed at Durrell. Over the next five years, small cohorts of captive-bred choughs were released, monitored, and provided supplemental food. In 2015, the choughs began breeding in the wild and there is now a resident wild population once again in Jersey." The referenced link #50 is also incorrect and should be www.birdsontheedge.org Ejcorry ( talk) 11:05, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
In 2015, the choughs began breeding in the wild and there is now a resident wild population once again in Jersey." My assumption is this might be stated in one of the monthly reports, but they haven't been archived, so it might be necessary to wait until the maintenance is over. — Nizolan ( talk · c.) 13:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Can someone add to the Status paragraph, just after the part on Cornwall? Something like "In 2023 39 pairs of choughs in Cornwall raised 112 young. Paul St Pierre, RSPB conservation officer, said, 'One of the primary goals has been to re-establish a link between the chough population in Wales and Brittany, and this year brings us closer than ever to achieving that objective'.". Citation is https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-66319535 Could you also add "As part of a conservation programme by the Wildwood Trust and the Kent Wildlife Trust ten choughs were released near to Dover, England in July 2023. The plan is to establish 15 breeding pairs in 10 years by releasing 30 to 50 individuals over five years." Citations are https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c72wn777ynpo and https://www.newscientist.com/video/2384323-red-billed-choughs-return-to-south-east-england-after-200-years/ All three sites in the above citations can be found at the Wayback machine.
