The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has set up a panel to consider the possibility of removing the red-whiskered, or crested bulbul from the country’s list of protected species, to accommodate eager breeders.

 

The panel will also consider streamlining regulations covering the breeding and trading of the birds, which are popular in several southern provinces for their beautiful song.

 

The department’s move follows Monday’s meeting of a special government committee, formed to address problems in southern provinces, chaired by Deputy Defence Minister Gen. Chaichan Changmongkol. During the meeting a representative of a group of crested bulbul breeders proposed their removal from protected species list.

Theyre  meant to be free not trapped  in a bluddy  cage

There are lots of countries that have dealt with similar issues,just maybe Thailand

could for once do the same thing?

Breeders need to be registered and all birds they have from a certain date need to wear

a government issued leg ring.

This has the number of the breeder and the year on it.

Very simple,all birds in a cage not wearing a leg ring are kept illegal and can not be sold

or take part in a contest.

Yes enforcement is an issue in the land of smiles.
