I think this is an interesting song of an unknown bird. And testing an interesting way to embed songs rather than videos ;-)

Experiment with the seedeaters
A friend claimed that he has the perfect formula for the Merboks - to make them less likely to "cracked their voice when they are pitching and to make them more hardworking. Millets soaked in some Chinese herbal medicine and sun dried.
Well, the saying goes about the taste of the pudding is in the eating.... or something to that extend ;-)
Switched 2 Merboks, 1 Tekukur & 1 Canary to it and will observe over time (3 weeks). Can't just be playing the role of the mad scientist on insectivores. Must give the seedeaters a chance too muahahaha!

22 years old history
A friend wanted to pass me some trophies he unearthed when he was doing some spring cleaning in conjunction with the wedding of his daughter. I just took one just to compare the designs of past trophies with current new ones. At 9th position for the Hwamei 22 years ago, the logo of the bird is quite well preserved.
Well, 22 years doesn't qualify for antique status, but still a page or rather a token from the past ;-)

Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (Act 716) - 0n Straw-headed Bulbul
Finally had time to take a glimpse on the new act - Wildlife Conservation Act 2010.
I am no lawyer and what and how I interpret the Act cannot be taken as legal counsel hehehe! - well, I am sure there are no fools out there that believe me totally, but just in case ;-)
Now, after getting fired up by the restrictive Act, I finally saw some light in it. At least for the wild population of Straw-headed Bulbul (SHB) and as a deterrent to the SHB trappers/ would be trappers. Section 68 (2) (b) spells out the minimum penalty upon conviction of hunting or keeping a SHB without a special permit - not less than RM30,000 and not more than RM100,000.
Well, if I am a trapper, it would definitely deters me. See, even if the judge takes pity on me and try to impose a light penalty, it cannot be less than RM30k
Even if the Director General takes pity, Section 126 (2) prohibits the above offence from being compoundable.
There!...... some light of hope for the Straw-headed Bulbul. Penalty is so scarry that I may not need to worry about my captive breeding project of Straw-headed Bulbul :-D
Anyway, if they allow me.... hmmm still would be a worthwhile effort :-)
