Hi Simon,
U r right on the 1st para.
The other way is base on my own experience is young birds LOOK young...like aros lah..  .
The other is look at the beaks where they join the head n just below the eyes. If those lines are curve down - chances r they r from 1st molt to abt 3 years old sometimes even 4 years old.
More seaoned birds will have little or none of that line.
BTW, this is purely my observation...anyone else, pls join in to educate all on tis forum.
Thx.
Erac

So any other way to judge the age of the bird. Me really new in shama ,hope these question is not stupid.
By the way, how long can a shama bird live ??? 
Thank you |
