Apartments?

The advantage of getting a roll of wire mesh is the endless experimentation & possibilities of DIY cages. I did one 4 unit terrace type horizontally & thought I try a vertical one. Advantage of vertical type is the small foot print which is space saving, birds don't see each other & easier to carry around. Now, what shall I place in it? Probably leave it empty 1st unless I get the urge to keep 4 new Mata Putehs ;-)

Sooty-headed Bulbul - episode 2

Took home 2 Sooty-headed Bulbul today. They are not listed in the Wildlife Act & therefore do not need a license to keep.

They appear to be not too wild for birds just taken out from a flock. At least there is a male, as I heard one sang it's mid-tone at the back of my car. Unless of course, both sexes sing mid-tones for this specie ;-)

Female Shama - arrival

Collected this little princess today. 2nd molt female living in the luxury of a big aviary. Very easy to take out from the aviary. Owner placed a bathing cage inside and throw a couple of crickets in it as bait. She goes in like she has been doing it for years now. Looks promising - I just wanted a female Shama that is used to having people around.

Will take out Apollo X tomorrow and put this female in the aviary.

Sooty-headed Bulbuls

38 Sooty-headed Bulbuls was seen for sale today. Bought 2 from the flock. Have no experience with them except for a specimen that I kept for a short while before I sold it off to a friend. Plan to keep these two new addition To the family a bit longer. At least until they are in form so that I can sample their songs.
