Managed to find 2 recorded songs of the Orange-sided Thrush on the internet. Appears to be recordings of wild birds. Hope I am not infringing on any copyrights. Just want to share samples of the song and see how my thrush turns out ;)

Orange-sided Thrush
I have posted some pics of this interesting thrush in the MBF. Thought I put them up here as well. Will try and see how he/she sounds like when in form. Actually got it since juvenile and it is just completing its first molt. Heard some rolling tweets but nothing like the sound clips I heard.
Fed on an insectivore feed, a few insects and a small slice of fruit everyday.
Bathing has been limited to twice weekly. Seriously need to reduce the number of birds hahaha!
Maybe got to let go the Blue-crowned hanging parrot, the only candidate I could spare at the moment. Problem is, it comes with proper papers. Aiya! challenges, challenges, challenges!

Black Feet Shama
Much has been said about the White-rumped Shama with black feet. Out of curiosity, I did try to look out for one. And finally fate would have it that I saw one for sale and it turn out to meet and surpass my expectation. Only thing to do now is to slowly wait for him to build up his confidence and probably I could have a ready bird to "chai" by year end ;)
Problem with having a free roaming chicken is that, he always gets in the way when I want to bath or place the birds on the floor. Aiya! looks like they are going up for adoption :D

Green Singing Finch (2 mth later)
A video of my Green Singing Finch after about 2 months. Was suspicious initially whether this fella will be with me long. So far he has been a joy to own. Sometimes I wonder where he got all those energy from.
There are no competitive finch keeping where I am from. This little fella is good, as far as I understand these Green Singing Finches. Does not "aw tau" (twist his head around), which is a common habit observed in these green singers.
Starting today, I spiced up his food with a teaspoon of Canary Molting formula seed to see whether he will benefit from it ;)
Took him out to the "Merbok Padang" once and hang him at eye level on the poles meant for Merboks. He sang loudly and beautifully there. He just earned himself a passport to more outings hahaha!
