I'm hoping to add cultural aspects of Flora and Fauna in the Philippines to their various pages, or subpages, or whatever. I need advice on how to go about this...? Specifically, can local names of animals be added to their english names?
Balete I didn't even know until I read the Kapre wiki that the Balete is the Banyan tree!; Narra; Niyog;
Alamid- created redirect to Asian Palm Civet;
Canaoay; it turns out that for ilocanos this term refers to the Cattle Egret, while to Tagalogs it is a general term for any kind of tern.
Kalaw ( Rufous Hornbill) and Tariktik ( Tarictic Hornbill) - I hope to expound on the use of these birds by early filipinos as a means of keeping the time.;
