Local bred Straw-headed Bulbul

Personally I had no success breeding the Straw-headed Bulbul, but it is always a pleasure to learn of other's successes. There is a serious need for more captive bred successes with this bulbul.

The below photo is a second clutch bred by a hobbyist in Muar. So far 3 clutches successfully hatched. Maybe I should get from him the 4th clutch chicks to raise :)

Pied Shama

This specimen appears to be molting at the moment. Small feathers scattered on the cage floor. From observations, usually a bird will become calmer & more stable after a molt in captivity.

Pied Shama



This is a nice Malaysian specimen of a pied shama. Appears to be a very young male, probably a first molt bird.
