Talk:Birdo (species)

WHAT!!! I WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD NOT TO MAKE THIS ARTICLE!!!- Ultimatetoad


 * Not to be rude, but the proposal that was passed said that we were to split Birdo into her character, and her species.
 * Rooben, Ultimatetoad wrote that before the proposal passed. I didn't know it either, but apparently I'm not the first to propose that this article be created.  Wild!  22:13, 11 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Whoa! Yeah, he wrote this almost a year ago! Ooops...
 * No problem! I had to check the first time I saw it, too!  23:04, 11 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Yes, of course, I was the one who told him not to create it. Back then, no one decided if we wanted to create it, if Birdo was really a species and I didn't want this article. I still want it, but the proposal was finished. Ah well. :P http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions)&middot; http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif

Stumpers' To-Do List
I know I have a big part of the article done, but I'm by no means calling it a day. We need to remove the information that is added to this article from the Birdo article. Here's my list of things to add to this article and remove from the Birdo one when they overlap: 23:04, 11 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Biology section
 * physiology
 * life cycle
 * abilities
 * Information from the Comics
 * Noteable Birdos (technically complete)
 * Actual Histroy (from character to species, etc.)

Hey Stumpers should I put this tag because it not finshin. Template:Construction Princess Grapes Butterfly 06:27, 12 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Not that it's really up to me, but I wouldn't think that the article would need that tag simply because the article has pretty much all the basics that it needs to be substantial for now. With the video game articles that have very little info and still need work, that's when that tag would come in handy. This article has a good portion of information, and it's mostly gonna need just little edits; perhaps the occasional add-of-bio.
 * I think I will go ahead on put the template on there. Thanks for reminding me about it!  The article technically is fine as it is, but I think its good to put the header up there until I can get information about the comics there... I don't want people to think that Birdos have appeared nowhere else! ;)  18:10, 12 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Okay. I didn't know. :o
 * Wha? You shouldn't be sorry! :D You're fine!  And doing awesome stuff around here.  22:31, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Hey, thanks! :D W00t! I done been complimented!

Yaaaay! Nice Template! Princess Grapes Butterfly 15:01, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks!

Just thought I'd mention this here; I found another comic Birdos appear in, "Betrayal Most Proper". Two attack Mario and Toad when they storm Bowser's Castle looking for Wooster. Here the panel:. -- Sir Grodus 20:06, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

Plural
Is it "Birdo" or "Birdos"? I don't believe I've ever heard a plural used before! If that's the case, we should probably use "Birdos" because we know the plural of "Yoshi" is "Yoshies." 17:32, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

I think it plural if there more then one birdo is might be Birdos right or Birdies. Well is Yoshies have a plural sure that Birdos have plurals too. (This is too confusing!) Princess Grapes Butterfly 19:36, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I would think (going by my school book) that it would be "Birdoes". That looks weird, but it says if a vowel (o) follows a consonant (d), then an "es" must be added; if it is a vowel-vowel ending, it's just "s".


 * I think the Marioverse has a different way to do this, maybe? http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions)&middot; http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif


 * Thanks, Rooben. Thing is, it lookes like "Bir -- does" now... as in "That's what he does for a living." But this is English we're talking about, and there are plenty of strange, non-phonetic things like that.  Does anyone know of any word that ends in "do" or "bo" or whatever?  13:06, 15 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Hmm...well, all I can think of (off the top of my head) is: "Psychos", "hobos", "albinos", and "armadillos". I know there's a lot more than that though. o.0
 * Huh... in all of those, it's "os" rather than "oes"... wild. 14:16, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I totally agree!
 * Okay, so here's the deal: it's not correct either way because it has never been used in a plural context... this would even be a conjectural title article except that the Super Show has something to the extent of, "Come back with Toad, you stupid Birdo!" BUT, the precident set with Toad, the precedent sent with the words you listed (which was awesome... how did you think of all of this?), the whole "does" appearance of the plurals, and the fact that we all agree it looks better so there is no opposition, I think we can safely use "Birdos."  Awesome!  Case closed, IMO.  Thanks Rooben!  21:55, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
