Douglas,
Try to learn a bit more before you talk. Do you even know what
the weight of a shama is?
Have you ever weighed your shama?
No?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaa
To the rest of you guys,
You have seen that two months ago, I knew nothing about shama birds other than shama is the most shy and most timid of aviary bird and had never kept shama in my life.
Yingshiong is an old shama as well, not a young bird with the best chances of being tamed or trained or to bond with.
I believe all that you need is the understanding and the respect for your birds and creatures to do what I have done or to do even more than what I have done.
I chose not to be the Master but as an equal with my bird, whether the bird is Tinkerbell or YingShiong.
You decide if I gained, or if I lost in the exchange.

"Yingshiong first graduation photographs"

YS graduation from flight room to apartment. You see
YS flying to touch target. YS flying to my finger on
pure recall (no waving of food) when cued. Last
sequence showed YS in flurry of wings and legs but
cheating as he did not touch target
Best to use slideshow at 1.6 seconds

YS more graduation photos

On Saturday Dec 10th, I managed to persuade Yingshiong to
tolerate
my wife Joy inside the flight room to take photos of
us
together.
The shots taken are better than the one I had taken.
There were three sequences of pure recall taken by Joy
standing behind me.
Use slide show at 1.6 to 2 seconds timing
