Grey-chinned minivet
- ... that the male grey-chinned minivet (pair pictured) has been observed approaching a female while holding a flower? Source: "Pre-mating behaviour by a male slowly approaching a female along branches while holding a (white) flower in its bill ... Copulation followed immediately." The Birds of the Thai-Malay Peninsula
- ALT1:... that the male grey-chinned minivet (pair pictured) has been observed using a flower to attract a female? Source: same source

- Template:Ping
- long enough (Template:Tq), new enough (Template:Tq). Hasn't been on front page before. Every non-lede paragraph has citations; no apparent copyright violations. Images are appropriately licensed.
- Hooks interesting, properly formatted, stated in article, and appropriately referenced. Image in article.
- QPQ done
- I wonder if better wording might make use of Template:Tq/Template:Tq or something like that instead of Template:Tq? But I guess your wording in the original / ALT1 is fine.
- Slight preference for Template:Tq over Template:Tq, but I'll leave the decision to the promoter.

- Comment I agree with Umimmak - it would be preferable to change the wording to "has been observed" or "has been recorded", which is more standard usage and avoids the suggestion that this behaviour has only ever happened once. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 07:18, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- I have edited the hooks. Gulumeemee (talk) 07:40, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
