princealbert Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 We have birds nesting in our garden that i have not been able to identify browsing the net although i think are very common. I have seen these kept as pets in many shops and houses around Chiang Mai. About 5-6 inch head to tail, black head/crest with white mask, white belly with red below and dark grey back. They have laid 4 brown mottled eggs in an old nesting box. Any ideas please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galong Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 In the south, they've caught probably every single one to put in cages. If you see one in the south, you can assume it has escaped. Stealing the freedom of flight so you can listen to a bird sing is pathetic. Bay a CD if you want to listen to bird songs. Plus, many of the birds have to endure long periods of direct sun. Um, birds in the wild seek shade when it's hot. Thailand is not paradise for animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
