Apollo X, a video update

These past few weeks has been hot like hell. Not that I have been there before hahahaha! So, bathing birds is not an option. It has become a necessity...... and the humans too ;-)

Looking for venue to start a bird farm

This venue looks good to relocate most of my birds. Roughly 2 acres, what is left is to agree in the rental & it will be my pilot project at breeding local softbills. Looking at longer term, have to bring it to new level to engage the authorities.




Many important questions need to be answered. But taking it one day at a time, it should unfold itself......

1) is it feasible to repopulate the Straw-headed Bulbul?
2) if possible, where is the safest place? Places that are crawling with bird watchers?
3) how is the behaviour of the SHB? Do they fly far? Huge territory?
4) any cheap telemetry sets I can get to monitor them?
5) can it be profitable?

...... just some questions I have to think through.

Apollo X finishing it's molt

Finally, Apollo X appears to have finished his molt. Next step to build up to breeding form? Or just dump male & female together & call it a day...... Hehehe!
