Chai Bird in Tmn Ungku Tun Aminah

It was a rainy day on Saturday, 30th August on the way to J.B. Need to pass 1 Grik taimong and an 8"+ Shama to John. At RM350 for both, sure is a bargain. brought along Apollo 6 for the trip. Just for fun's sake, to "chai" with John's Shama.


On Sunday 31st August, decided to drop by Tmn Ungku Tun Aminah with John and Maureen (John's temple member) to have a look at the "chai" place. Manage to meet up with the club president there, a real hard core Shama enthusiast. Maureen must be bored to death. But John appears happy catching up with his friends and me doing some investigative work.
It seems like Orchid Chin has lost interest in his multiple time champ and sold it off to the club president for RM6k. The Shama was in a bad shape due to neglect and molting at the moment. I am more curious of his (the club president) 13" Shama. He told me he is willing to bring to Batu Pahat for the next comp if I am interested in looking at it (of course its not for sale). According to his description, it would surely be a winner, not because of the tail, but its supposed beautiful play. I certainly am interested to look at it ;)

Bengalese Finch

Tried to take some photos of the pair of Bengalese Finch that I bought for a friend. Something wrong with my camera phone as the images doesn't turn out good.
Anyway, in Macau Pet trading, all his Bengalese has no tail. Decided to buy from Osman. He managed to breed a few birds lately. His Bengalese looks healthier anyway and with their tails all intact.

Visitor - Mata Puteh

I have actually forgot my manners. A visitor has been visiting so frequently that I forgot to even offer a cup of water. Decided to rectify the mistake today. Now I have a cup of goodies stuck to the outside of a cage for her.
She was trapped twice in the kitchen when the windows were closed in the evening. Maybe she will become tamer as time goes by. Or just disappeared when she finds a mate to start her own family.

Zeus - White-rumped Shama from Rompin

Zeus had a long journey before coming to me. A 4 year plus bird from Rompin. Travelled to Pekan Nenas and eventually to Melaka. Below is the photo and video of his first day in Melaka.
