Haha...I got it for RM300 inclusive of 20" cage. I think quite worth it. Well..I would like to have all the above you mentioned, now also looking for a mata puteh, someone from the bird forum is helping me to find one. Mata puteh is very rare these days, not available in petshop. Mann_kl's has a contact to get Sharma for you if you really wanted.

Actually...after I own a Magpie, Magpie's song variety is much more interesting than my German Roller Canary. Hmm....can't wait to hear this Sharma sing, whether would it be better than my Magpie or not.

I also have ordered a tamed baby Cockatiel. Will be able to collect it by end of the month. So far, my hubby still don't know I spent so much money on birds recently. Trying to hide my birds from him.

I ordered through David who lived in Damansara Jaya. He keeps Albino Cockatiel too.


This morning when my Magpie sing, there are 2 wild Magpies came to my house wanted to attack my Magpie. Luckily my dogs protect my Magpie, the wild Magpies don't have chance to get near it.

My maid is trying to set up a trap to catch the wild Magpies for me. Hopefully she could succeed, then I will get free additional Magpie.

lol..i had the same idea..but i dont have the trap..maybe i shud ask the ppl in birdforum..cos theres alot in subang..i mean my place..

Azrul..actually this is not my 1st time owning a bird...i used to own a cockatiel...i got it from my friend.I got it from about 3weeks old...i hand-fed the birdie..Then one day my son took it out of the cage to play with it...put him on the shoulder,suddenly it flew away and never came back....soo sadd So,i dont think i wanna get another cockatiel..bad memories.So,when can ww go and look for the Budgie?

I'm a new bird owner...

erm.... actually i rescued a pigeon with a broken wing who got snapped by my dog... unfortunately she didn't die, n i feels so guilty, therefore i took her in....

i've try to find a vet who will attend to her, but never found one who accept bird as their client..

now she had already staying with me for 1 month and she still can't fly

i wonder how long will a pigeon live...

Hi All Bird Enthusiast , this is my 1st reply in this forum after few months here. I always read through your posting but never leave any message here.

Nice to meet all of you here.

hey! welcome!! hope you'll have a good stay here..



i know a avian doctor in UPM, serdang..if u happen to go there..go to the vet clinic and ask for dr.jalilah..maybe she can help u out..pigeon can be tame if there r properly kept..about how long they can live..im not sure..why dont u google it?
anyways, goodluck..

actually someone did recommend me to UPM, but is really far and my parent will say they will be crazy to drive me all the way there...

i think pigeon is a tame bird, eventhough she pecks at me, but is pretty harmless

n i'm try to crate train her..

btw, can they hear my words? coz i can't help but keep talking to her... i hope i'm not talking to the air

ofcause she can hear you..dont worry..i talk to my birdies too.. too far? ic..
i remember when i got my 1st cockatiel..during that time i only have a scooter to go around..suddenly when one of my cockatiel fall sick..i brought her all the way to UPM with my scooter! from subang jaya..huhu..that was a crazy ride.. n thank god, i mange to save her..thanks to my scooter.. maybe you could google on how to treat a broken wing.. also maybe u can try www.birdboard.com

What kind of cage is suitable for Cockatiel? I saw many people keep their Cockatoos leg tied on to the wood, and no need cage. Does Cockatiel also need to do that?

juztiny..a big no no for tying them on the t-stand..my point of view..tying ur bird to the t stand only "menyeksa" or "mendera" the bird..they cant even hardly move freely..i advice you to get cage..square kind of cage.. you can go to pet safari in ikano power centre to get one..its only rm60 plus..

yeah..im free this friday too...im off...nanti i'll sms u and check the plan ok...have you called the breeder or yr contact? got young budgie or not?will chat thru sms later...thnx

Thanks for the advice. Ya...I have 2 cages (around 3'W x 1.5' Dx 1.5'H) available which are suitable for keeping love birds or finches kind. So wondering is it suitable? Is there any specific size needed for Cockatiel? I read from bird forum, some people put Canary together with Cockatiel in a big cage, I am considering this.

Hi Justiny

How is your shama at your house?? Does he start sing or create any "tak-tak" sound??

Basically most of the people prefer to keep the Cockatiel inside the steel cage and seldom tie them. Pls dont keep them inside the bamboo cage or else your bamboo cage will damage by them. hehe...

i once kept my budgie together with my tiel..i think it shud be alright..all i know, lovebirds are the ones suka kacau other bird..i think the cage u have shud be alright....about the big cage..y dont u do a small aviary for ur birds? bird the one u getting from david is a tame one right?




yeap this true..i dulu pernah keep my tiel in a bamboo cage..but then the tiel gigit one of the bamboo cage bar until it almost broke....lol.

No sound yet, very quiet not even 'tak-tak" sound. I think he is very scared inside the cage. Fed him worms only eat very little like 5 only.

This morning I found out one of his eye cannot open, don't know why. Then I catch him and look closer and use my finger massage his eyelid, and then can open. What's wrong?

Added on April 16, 2008, 6:12 pmYes! My maid successfully caught one of the wild Magpie today. Our opposite neighbour asking her to give it to them. She told them that it was our pet bird that escaped out, she is catching it back to the cage. Haha...she is smarter than I thought.

This wild Magpie is easy to care than I thought, he could eat the pellet by itself. I was worried that he doesn't know how to eat pellet and just want to eat worms only.

Wah, you all talk about song birds... make me itch to get one magpie. My tiel only sings to his mates.... not to me. My Mynah talks crap, coughs and sneezes when I sneeze and makes annoying sounds. Only love the zebra dove's calm cooing.... My brother's lovebirds hurt my ears when they become vocal haahhah.

Haha..when I get my Cockatiel, then I will talk more on Cockatiel with you lor...

Magpie is very melodious, especially when they respond to the wild Magpie sing. Nice! Well...I have yet to hear my Sharma sing, just wondering how good would he be.

lol... yeah i gave away my love birds bcos they are too noisy..even at night!

i getting the trap from a friend on sunday..lets try..lol...
