[edit] Taiga is not open country.

It is a bird of open country such as farmland, taiga and savannah.

Taiga is a dense coniferous forest. I doubt it qualifies as open country. Should it be tundra instead? -- Tjunier 08:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subbuteo

I have put a citation needed tag next to the statement about the Eurasion Hobby giving its name to the table football game Subbuteo. It does sound somewhat far fetched to me. Unless someone can provide a reference for this it is going to have to be removed.--Greatestrowerever 22:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


I have reverted the following line "A range of board games was also once going to be named "Hobby", but the inventor was refused permission. This resulted in the inventor finding the Eurasian hobby and using its name. And thus, the board game was named Subbuteo." due to lack of references. If anyone can find a source proving this to be true feel free to add it back into the article.--Greatestrowerever 22:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
