Moving the Tortoises

Today, I decided to move the tortoises to a bigger enclosure. It's a balance between comfort and ease of maintenance. I have to compromise on the later :-(

Carried them in a metal dog/cat cage....



The most stable among them are the Red-footed tortoise. Sharing a banana & eating mealworms. Settling in almost instantly.





Glad to see that the Asian Brown Tortoise is doing well and less afraid from the first time I got it from a friend.


The Elongated Tortoise (barely seen in the background) is a lot more shy.... hmmm hopefully all is well :-)

Cage? Bird Stand?

Saw a unique cage or shall I say bird stand today while away on a visit to some shops.

More interestingly saw the most numbers of Palm Cockatoos in my entire life. All more than 30 birds. What a sight ;-)




Even more interesting.... my friend bought an albino common myna there for RM200.

Even even more interesting.... saw some of the most beautiful Shamas in the world ;-)
