(Australian Bird)[edit]

Can anyone find a reference or image with respect to the bird? I've researched it a little online and have been able to find a reference to this mythical species that didn't sound like a rumor. I couldn't find any evidence of the australian ganja on google images, or websites specific to australian birds. any bird watchers wanna write this one?

Seems to be an urban legend. The only reference to a bird called ganja is that Peter Tosh once said that he does not smoke ganja, he smokes herb, because "Ganja is a bird in Australia". --Ezeu 07:49, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ganje was a city in the persian empire until its capture by the russians in the 19th century. For Azeri etnicity, please refer to the appropriate article. It is important to note that the present state of azerbaijan is a very new phenomenon and no such state has ever existed before 20th century.

Please, note that Ganja is a historical Azerbaijani city. Its inhabitants all the time have been Azerbaijanis or Albanians, ancestors of Azerbaijanis. Please, don't try to credit Ganja to persians. I have no relations to persiona. Azerbaijanis and persians are different civilizations, different cultures, different ethnicities, different language and etc. No common feature other than being neighbors. --68.49.90.60 18:19, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

68, your edits have consistently shown a point of view. Without having reliable sources to back up your claims, such assertions cannot be made in an encyclopedic fashion. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 13:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(One more note)- note that the current fashion in which it is on the page is appropriate, being that it only claims to be a city in Azerbaijan, which is factually true. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 13:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ganja of the first 20 results, only one is a reference to the city.
