Straw-headed Bulbul

Just realised that the Straw-headed Bulbuls make good aviary birds. Not only do they look happier & more comfortable, the male becomes aggressive and flies to the front of the aviary every time I come near. And burst into loud songs when I move away. One heck of a way to get them to sing :-D

Equipment

Borrowed a Miter Saw from a friend to start building aviaries. Coupled with drills, stapler etc. Work becomes easy and accurate. Sometimes its using the right equipment that makes things easier. I tried using minimal hand tools to make grasshopper cages once and it took me quite a while to complete & they didn't turn out nice :-(

Stingray & Luo Han

Before the Chinese New Year, my mom wants a Hua Luo Han (Flower Horn) after watching a documentary on the Chinese channel. Well, I do not fancy such fish but ended up keeping one anyway.

Today, I added a stingray to the tank after being pestered by my son. My fault actually, shouldn't have told him about fresh water stingrays. Anyway the initial plan was to visit a breeder in KL to get a pair. But he doesn't have ready stock of the smaller sized ones. So, to avoid disappointment, I called up a local fish shop and ordered one. Didn't get to choose, and was sent a male Mottoro. Just fine with me ;-)
Another happy person in the family....

Ayam Serama

The Serama Chicken (Ayam Serama) was once very popular in Malaysia. I remember vendors were even selling them by the road side. Sometimes, I was told that unscrupulous vendors were passing off Ayam Katek's chicks as Serama.

Bought 40 of these chickens recently & seeing whether I can make a few bucks out of them to fund my bird breeding projects.
