Jameson's antpecker

Jameson's antpecker (Parmoptila jamesoni) is a songbird species found in central Africa. Like all antpeckers, it is tentatively placed in the estrildid finch family (Estrildidae). It has traditionally been included as a subspecies of P. rubrifrons (red-fronted antpecker) and the common name Jameson's antpecker was sometimes used for both taxa. But today, they are often considered distinct species.

Jameson's antpecker inhabits tropical lowland moist forest in Uganda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When Jameson's and the red-fronted antpeckers were still evaluated as one species, they were classified as a species of least concern by the IUCN.[2] Unlike its western relative which is declining noticeably, P. jamesoni is still common and widespread. Therefore, its status has not changed after its elevation to a full species.[3]

gollark: Looking at MainApplication.py:> objects = []This is not a very descriptively named thing. There should probably be a comment.> `def populate(self):`Arguably, it isn't very good design to make the code responsible for display *also* directly handle directly loading CSVs and such.

gollark: Also also also, the ` ticks_count = 0 # this is supposed to hold the number of ticks we have instanced an object for` on the `Tick` class is not used anywhere.
gollark: Also also, `def __str__(self): pass` doesn't seem to do anything either.
gollark: Also, this function seems to have no valid reason to exist.
gollark: > def indIncreaseCounter(tickInstance):Python convention is to use `snake_case`, not `camelCase`.
