Singing red-billed Leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea) or Pekin robin in our aviary

- The red-billed leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea) is a member of the family Leiothrichidae, native to southern China and the Himalayas. Adults have bright red bills and a dull yellow ring around their eyes. Their backs are dull olive green, and they have a bright yellow-orange throat with a yellow chin; females are somewhat duller than males, and juveniles have black bills. It has also been introduced in various parts of the world, with small populations of escapees having existed in Japan since the 1980s. It has become a common cagebird and amongst aviculturists it goes by various names: Pekin robin, Pekin nightingale, Japanese nightingale, and Japanese (hill) robin, the last two being misnomers as it is not native to Japan.

Not globally threatened. CITES II. Very scarce, perhaps only vagrant, in Pakistan. Fairly common in Nepal. Common throughout temperate zone in Bhutan, where present in Thrumshingla National Park. In India, uncommon in W Himalayas to locally common in E, hence very rare on New Forest campus at Dehra Dun and rare in Dehra Dun valley (Uttaranchal); present in Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary and Namdapha National Park (Arunachal Pradesh). Fairly common in S China, where recorded in 17 (31%) of 54 surveyed sites (of which 52 are nature reserves), but rare in one of them, Diding Nature Reserve, in Guangxi; abundant in mountains of NW Fujian. Uncommon in Hong Kong, where population of captive origin. In Myanmar, scarce in W but common in N; common in N Vietnam. Has been heavily traded: since 1997, when it was listed on CITES Appendix II, total of 227,517 wild-caught individuals has been recorded in international trade. Feral populations have become at least temporarily established, for example: in Hawaii (recently collapsed, but has history of dramatic unexplained population fluctuations on several islands; in mid-1980s c. 98,000 in 3539-km² study area on Hawaii, 19,000 in 404-km² study area on Maui, and 1800 in 131-km² study area on Molokai); in Japan (exploding in range and numbers in past two decades, reaching density of 350-400 pairs/km² on Mt Tsukuba, in C Japan); and in Europe (France, Italy, Germany and Catalonia, NE Spain); as well as on Reunion I, in Indian Ocean.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing!
Those look and sound like very happy birds!
Meravigliosi esseri❤❤❤❤❤
This is not their song at all, but a long distance "advertising call". The very soft "chut, chut" calls are low intensity alarm calls uttered by pairs or flocks in response to minor disturbance.
The actual song varies markedly between individual males, but is always a series of loud and very pleasing phrases more reminiscent of the songs of American Robins (Turdus migratorius) and their Central and South American cousins than the songs of European Robins or Common Nightingales.

You sell perkin robin birds?
Hi are these birds hard to breed in captivity?
Mine are in surrounding jasmine bushes..I've seen 3 babies in 2 years
AlohaZ
Beautiful healthy birds and aviary. I have a pair of silver eared mesia (Leiothrix argentauris) and house them in a similar set up to your birds. However, i can't seem to get them to make a nest of have eggs. I have had them 2 years already. They are healthy and paired up, and even mate, but no eggs or nest. Any tips?
Are they offered a regular supply of WELL NOURISHED (not just gut loaded!) feeder insects? Wax Moth larvae are unsuitable because they are not shipped or cupped with actual food. Mealworms and small House Crickets are good if these are given quality food (not just stale bread or wilted Iceberg Lettuce!). Also, captive bred birds are generally much more willing to nest in captivity; are they closed ringed?
Too much disturbance (entering the aviary, etc) will also prevent nesting. Females will usually not lay if they are calcium deficient (as with most female birds); they eat small land snails and the eggs of other birds for calcium in the wild.

Alohaz! I'm uploading one now, super close up..I got lucky! My cat grabbed one, and Her mate bounced off the Cat's head and She escaped! They are tough..and loud! Alohaa
They have a breeding population in Hawaii, where escaped pets introduced thisAsian species. Aloha, hope your pet is well!

UK twitching societies reckon it's not going to be long before the RBL will be joining in the wild bird chorus here,expecting the small population to expand as it has done so in Spain & Italy.Will this be welcome or not,given the Monk Parakeets little population of 20 or so birds on the Isle of Dogs,east London,is being killed off because DEFRA's worried their commmunal nesting will start fires
