hi all,
my friend recently cought some of these birds in pahang, really don;t know what they call, for sure is a kind of dove family. i can't really see any bird shop selling it too.
and he wanted to sell for rm100 each, is it worth that much? tq


Attached thumbnail(s)

they can but very weird sound, the rythm like the red indian rythm.

1 murai kampung
1 murai batu
1 punai daun
1 punai tanah
1 tekukur kampung
1 tekukur putih
4 diamond dove (yello, white, grey and bluesh grey)
2 merbah jambul
2 merbah putih
2 mata putih
and now 2 merbuk merah (new)

the avatar pic is murai batu(sharma), murai kampung is the blak n white.
actually i'm really not sure about the kind, i just call merbuk merah, thoese pic i shown last time.

how much is your budget?

well, for the wild cought definately they only eat fresh insect but u need to train them by mixed a bit of dry pallet with fresh cutted mealworm for cricket, but for first week u need to feed them with live cricket day and evening, after for a while then u can see the pallet finished in the container that's mean they use to it.
one more thing, by hand feeding them will made them more tame.
i know one friend selling the sharma arround rm130 each wild cought and young.

it is murai batu(sharma) black n red chest. you get the cage? coz MB need huge cage due to the tail, it will grow untill 12" long.
well i've spoken to my friend but he wouldn't want to be known becoz he got no license to sell the MB, but he'll sell if i willing to help him as a middle man.

it's true, from thai is cheaper then here and unique. i bought merbuk cage from KB kelantan my home town, macam-macam ada.
i think the best is 20" x 20".

any bird shop but for first u have to mixed with mealworms(choped), and hand feed some crickets.

u really got a loyal maid. 6 houses ma , luckyly your canary is quite tamed otherwise it will fly into tree not house lo

how much u bought? and how much did u buy the canary? what colour is your canary?

u only can differentiate the sex when it grow abit old. since your is still baby, then u have to wait for 1 or 2 months, then only u can see. can u post some of the pic?
actually from the colour automatic u'll know either male or female.
the male colour is more shining(darker) then the female. the female doesn't sing well like male magpie, same thing goes to shama.

i did surprised too, when u mention u r miss not mr hehehehe

welldone juztiny . very nice magpie. but won't you like to give him a proper cage( bamboo magpie cage )? is around rm 60 to rm75 only.

finally..... congratulation!!!!!!
very nice very tamed
