Song Birds
since the year 2000, I just concentrade on keeping for parrots family…. few month back a new neighbour moving in and he keep lots of dove and some songbirds (bulbuls and thrushs)…
Their song is not bad… and it make me kind of interested to keep some for the songs… however, song birds lifespan is shorter compared with parrots family and the way to keep songbirds also different … bird like shama bulbuls zosterops leafbirds magpie robin hwa may or thrush will required different method of keeping and different type of food compared to parrots species. I found that these birds is very nice and interesting species…
Song birds are bird of cage and not pets bird. However, they can give the owner very pleasure and peaceful moment with their songs. As the community become more stress (especially with the current economy) I think keeping and listening to song birds is one of the good way of life. You and your family can have a good time together listening to the birds and caring for them… since they are cage birds, they wont do any damage to the house or furnitures like some species of parrots do…
Maybe if my financials is permit, I will get some songbird in the near future…
