The creator of the article is still working on the text. The present version includes information from the primary resource. There are also secondary resources about the company (such as an article published by American Federation of Aviculture) that needs to be read in detail and incorporated. So simply wait for a week before proceeding. Evren Güldoğan (talk) 12:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Several secondary resources to be integrated in the coming hours/days. Evren Güldoğan (talk) 15:13, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

While some other secondary resources that can be cited remain the article is mostly finished. I'm just planning to add a table including a list of the species Birds International breed and some more about their affiliations.

I believe that the company is notable; because:

1. There are several secondary resources that refer to it. 2. It is "the largest captive bird breeding facility in the world also regarded by many to be the best" and is "reputed to have the largest parrot collection in the world" (Intro). 3. It has done a good job of conserving endangered species, especially one of the most endangered birds Spix's Macaw (Birds Bred). 4. It is a succesful venture shown as a model by both private enterpreneurs and public authorities (Commercial Activities). 5. It is registered under CITES being one of the two organisation from Philippines and the sole organisation for two distinct species that has been registered (Relations with CITES). 6. It is affiliated to several organisations working in the fields of aviculture, zoology and environment (Others).

Furthermore Wikipedia's coverage of aviculture needs to be expanded. Evren Güldoğan (talk) 01:14, 21 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
