Breeding from wild female Shama

Few friends of mine is facing lots of problem with wild female shama when they try to pair up with their males.
.
The thing is, they are caught in the wild and immediately sold to bird shop without taming them. And those poor bird is highly stress out ever since being trap. Therefore, trying to breed them too soon will only cause trouble.

Give them some time to atleast rest and recover from those trauma. I would suggest a good 4-8months depends on birds ability, some birds get use to new environment pretty fast. But don't rush it ! As you might end up with a dead bird!

Tame and confident female is very important as they won't freak out easily when your male bird approach them. Placing a frighten female into the breeding avairy is basically asking for trouble as once the female freak out, for sure it will trigger attack instinct of the aggresive males. If that happen, the male with turn nasty and kill the female instead of breeding!

I hope this info will help to prevent unessecary loss of lives..

长尾喜鹊也叫白腰鹊鸲

在新加坡,我们侍养大多数是来与马来西亚的品种。因为本地有几位非常资深的前辈经过多年的培养与挑选使得现在新加坡的长尾的尾巴达到一定的长度。并且同时还保留该拥有肢体表现以及声量哦!

到今天为止尾巴最长纪录是16寸也就是差不多40公分。身价也是非常昂贵的。一只优良品种的鸟宝宝低价从三千到六千元新币,现在的情况有点像到达疯狂境界原因就因为禽流感的关系。我国不再应许外国进口鸟类所以的确很缺货。。。不知道其他国家是否也面对同样的问题。在这我希望有更多的鸟儿爱好者与我们分享他们的情况以及养鸟的宝贵经验 :)

对了!最近我才发现在台湾,长尾其实挺不受欢迎的。哈哈。。! 好奇妙哦!我们亚洲几个国家都有很多长尾爱好者抢着买呢!果然同鸟不同命。。 嘻嘻!我希望慢慢的长尾在台湾接受,不需要再被列为有害之鸟 :(

最后, 我的汉字写的不好希望你们别介意哈!谢咯!

New bird care

Being thoughtful and sensentive towards the feeling of your new "Birdie family member" is very important .

Bird needs lots of time to adapt to new environment,so please give them time before any assessment made. Don't even try to chai the poor fellow at home. Just imagine i put you in other country and someone try to pick a fight with you the minute you arrived, how would that feel? Stress!

Being new to every thing and alone, they are already very very afriad and stress out so the only right thing to do is to half cover the new bird and put them in a quite corner for atleast THREE days. Personally, i only start bathing them when i hear the new bird singing soft song or i see they are relax. Reason why bathing is because shama love bathing on top of that it really cheer them up a lot. So if the new bird bathe then i will slowly proceed to introduce him or her to the rest of the birdie members.

I notice my birds tend to be frighten when i put on my shirt especially with sunglass on. It goes to show that even in the place that they are so use to they still freak out with slightest change. Just imagine new place, new face, more people, kids shouting and running, pet dog or cats etc...

Therefore i would like to remind those new owner to spare a thought for their new birdie. Don't do things that further stress the poor fellow out and blame the bird for being lousy or timid. Putting them into battle far before they even settle down will only make things worst! Only birds that feels relax will gain confidence follow by top form THEN they are able to perform or challenge in their battle field ! : )

That is my personal opinion, i believe there are much better ways out there : ) Please feel free to post comment to add on to the list so that i will be able to share with others : )
