Guys I have added a "multi choice" poll, you can click more than one answer.
Its more for info, and will probably prove nothing though.

Ok folks im starting this thread as people are crapping other threads and getting upset and that does include me. I thought we should start a thread to have a "REASONABLE DEBATE" on whether the Bird section should be used for wild birds and not captive birds.
I will start off with my take on this which others may want to add or debate with.Im a reasonable person and very open minded so if you want give me a reason to change my outlook on the subject.
If the mods see this as being more work or has the potential for more complaints on the forum then let us know why as we only see it from our side and its good to hear both sides before making our minds up.
1.There is a dedicated section to captive animals which includes pets,zoo animals etc-so what is different with it being a captive bird, should it not be in this section as it covers a wide variety of species?
2.Many birders and wildlife photographers will only shoot just that--WILD life/WILD Birds . So why have captive birds in the section as they will seldom be described as captive.
3.Many users spend allot of time helping wildlife and birds in particular and some dedicate their lives to this.Feeding, looking after and helping different wildlife. This also includes days, weeks and months trying to get that lucky photograph so why spoil all the hard work and allow captive birds.
4.There have been several instances where captive birds have had jessies etc removed to hide the captive fact and still wont admit it when proof is shown. Some users end up without doubt getting a bad first impression of the forum due to this.
5.For me capturing that one elusive species is a wonderful thing and should be shared with like minded people in a dedicated section.
So please debate this but as i said keep it reasonable or its sure to be removed or if bad i will ask for it to be locked myself.
Look forward to others points of view especially if they differ from my own.
