Oriental Magpie Robin Pt.2

Singing non-stop from day one, this appears to be a hard working singer......



His constant singing prompted the Black Bellied Magpie to sing along as well ;)

Oriental Magpie Robin Pt.1

Saw an Oriental magpie Robin in a shop couple of days ago, all battered up and tail feathers broken. He was still quite steady, singing away, swaying his body and fanning what is left of his tail :D

Out of impulse, took him home together with cage. He sang his territorial song almost immediately upon reaching home. He is a bird that has lost one fight too many I suppose and dump at the local bird shop to be sold off as a songster. Hmmm.... he has a habit of doing a somersault from the cage floor. Quite entertaining ;)

But a little bit too noisy, probably will keep him until he molt back to his handsome self before finding a new owner for him.

Albino Oriental Magpie Robin

Commonly known as "Or Pek" (Black and White), the Oriental Magpie Robin below cannot qualify for the name. The black markings are non existent. First time I see a white magpie. Now waiting for a chance to see an albino White-rumped Shama. I am sure there is one out there ;)

First molt to adult feathers:
