All capture or killing of Thai birds should be illegal.

Why partiality towards Thai birds only?

A "slow-witted" fellow walks into a pet shop and asks to buy a whistling Mynah bird. The pet shop owner explains that myna birds do not whistle. The customer explains that he wants a whistling myna bird more than anything else in life. Finally, he pet shop owner confesses that if you file the bird's beak just right, then the bird will whistle. He sells the gentleman a myna bird, and gives him a file and complete instructions on how to use it.

Several days later the slow-witted gentleman returns to the pet shop, and the owner asks how the bird is doing. The customer replies that the bird is dead. Seems as though he filed the bird's beak just as instructed, and when he removed the bird's head from the vise, he was dead.
