So does Gannet belong to Pelecaniformes or Passeriformes?
- oops!. At least not quite as bad as the Gray Whale I had as a marsupial. thanks. jimfbleak 07:49 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Pelecaniformes vs Passeriformes
The scientific classification box still shows order Passeriformes instead of Pelecaniformes. I know nothing about this, so I don't know if it's correct or not, but it doesn't match the information given in the rest of the section and the previous comment would suggest it should be Pelecaniformes.
[edit] Wet their Nests?
Is there any truth to Monty Python's suggestion that Gannets wet their nests?
Yes, their nests are constructed from Guano. [1]
[edit] Merge
I suggest merging both 'Booby' and 'Gannet' into 'Sulidae'. Maias 03:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
If anyone has comments for or against, please discuss at Talk:Sulidae. Maias 03:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] or expand?
wouldn't it be better to expand the article? There's not yet much information on here, but wikibirds is still a developing project. I'd rather see more inofrmation than less.--Jethrobrice 19:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rep by pop?
Isn't Ile Bonaventure, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, largest single population, with 20K nesting pairs? Trekphiler 17:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
