Thank you for the thorough review, Template:U. It is true that the image isn't the best ever, how about this one? I think that would show up better at such a small size. Being docile alone wouldn't sell well, but I found it quite interesting because of the contrast to its generic name, "bird-killer". It's true that ALT1 isn't really a definite fact, I still found it interesting, but I understand if it won't work. The only other thing that I found interesting about the bird is that some specimens held in captivity would not breed without lettuce in their diet, despite the fact that a few decades before there were reports that this bird ate solely meat intentionally and only took in plants by accident. I'm not sure the best way to incorporate this into a hook, however. I could try to search some more or request full access to the hbw article to see if there's anything hooky there. Let me know if you have any particular suggestions.
I don't want to make the hook much longer by adding "also known as the Pacific cuckoo-falcon", if that's what you're suggesting, but I agree we should somehow point out a common name that readers are familiar with. How about something like "that the hawk Pacific baza"? I don't think we should drop any of the images, as they are all quite helpful for illustration to the readers, but I have aligned all of them right and I see that you have made them smaller. Cheers, --SkyGazer 512 My talk page 13:49, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
How's this?
ALT2: ... that the Pacific baza is a docile hawk, although its generic name translates to "bird-killer"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:54, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
The other image shows better, but will probably still not be taken because we have so many bird images that it has to be outstanding ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:56, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping I've gone ahead and replaced the image; if the promoter doesn't think this hook is image-worthy that is fine and makes sense, but there's no problem with having it there just in case. :-) ALT2 looks great to me, thank you!--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 14:01, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Fine, lets look for another reviewer then, unless there's a rush. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:07, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't really see anything wrong with the bird picture here (though I'm ambivalent as to whether or not this must be an image hook). I also disagree with Gerda regarding the attractiveness of ALT0, and in fact I think ALT0 is better than ALT2; I don't think ALT2 has the same punch (since hawks are known for being killers anyway). ALT0/ALT2's hook fact is in a Google Books page that I can't access so I guess we can assume good faith on the information regardless. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:44, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
