Weekend gathering with close friends ...

Sunday late afternoon, four of us will always try our best to make time for such get together. We all prefer to enjoy the afternoon coffee, the companies, song which produce from our birds and topics which come naturally.

Very close friends, 100% relax without the need to "make small talks" it all just flow... somehow there is endless things we all can talk about, exchange ideas, knowledge, direct comments about each others Shama, helpout each other whole heartedly... and many more. Personally, i look forward to every weekend get together with them.

Everytime we meet we will each bring 1-2 birds along, with lesser birds we are able to listen to their song better and it does not give that "noisy" feeling compared to far too many birds singing at the same time. And frankly we do get that "noisy" feeling back in our own hse anyway :p haha! So instead of going to places to get the many birds singing effect, we needed the other way round for the clear sound effect. Enjoy!!

White tail female taimong molted with White tail

Two months ago while she is having her taimong coat, she has white tails.
I am glad but at the same time i ask myself if i did something wrong that affect her tail colour.
was thinking about nutrition, Deworming, or sunlight factors... well, the only way to find out is to pay more attention to her diet and care and then..... wait for her to molt!

So! she finish her body molt. Now i can confirm it is in her that the tail will be white.
Haha! i can really be happy now!

Nice picture of Shama

DDS 2012 chicks from Pretty Boy, both of them tail exceed 6"



Camera quality does matters!

Because of our birds, most of us has been taking lots of picture. But for me somehow i am always not quite happy with the results.

No matter how i try, i am unable to produce the picture that speaks for the bird. Often the picture seems "dead" or dull which is so much different from the bird itself. Although photography skill does play a big part in the quality but a lot still depends on the Lens.

DDS showed me some Picture he take over the weekend with his new Cam that has fantastic "anti shock" ??? and something something?? haha! Too much Cam lingo which i do not know what he is telling me about ! ?

Anyway, one thing for sure is that picture tells me everything about its subject! The quality of the bird and even the character is clearly shown to me.... AND the Camera's quality ofcourse! That goes to show a good camera with good lens plus a "so so" Camera skill can also produce wonderful picture!

Must get one some day!
