Jebak Design Pt.2

Another craftman, another design. Simple but effective ;-)






Often people assume I am a collector of sorts. Personally, I do not categorise myself as a collector. A collector often clings to his possession with passion and delight. However, the number of trap cages that I have acquired over the years, I have only manage to retain but a few. Often it is loaned, sold or given away.

Am I a trader? If I am I better not give up my day job hahaha!

I just love to have and to hold some of the items. But I do get tired of them quite easily. I do trap birds for the fun of it. But to-date, never have I kept any that I have trapped myself. Sort of a personal kind of thing. I prefer to keep birds that I buy or given by friends.

The traps? Just curious to learn how they work :-D

Jebak Design Pt.1

A bird trap under construction. Sometimes a unique piece is made fusing few designs together. The following is a fusion of 2 different design with a healthy dose of creativity on the part of the craftman.

It's interesting to visit such a person from time to time & to blog while on the move ;-)

Hwamei Pt.3

Progression in keeping Hwamei - able to sun them once in a while without them committing suicide by bashing their head on the cage :D
Usually I cover them back 3/4 after sunning. Leaving a gap at the front side where the door is......
Still wild, but manageable. I will keep them this way until they peak in form, hopefully after their 1st molt in captivity.

Odin - my new Shama

This is Odin, a young Shama who currently has a tail length of 8.6". Keeping my fingers crossed that it would reach at least 9.5" when matured. Stubborn fella in learning how to eat dry food. Left him with a friend to take care during the C.N.Y. Holidays as he need more attention during this period. Fierce little bugger this Shama ;)



Took him home today.
