Pekin Robins from fledging to independence 2020
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2020
- A shortish movie compiling a number of short clips of one of our pairs of Pekin Robins (Leiothrix Lutea) and their first brood of three chicks who fledged on 3rd May 2020. They went on to have four more broods which resulted in 9 more young who fledged!
There is no footage of nests, eggs or nestlings as the set up in this aviary (in 2020) was not conducive to obtaining such images if we wanted to avoid distrubing the birds. I apologise if anyone subsequently finds this element lacking.
For anyone interested in keeping these birds I highly recommend Peter Karsten's fantastic book on all aspects of their husbandry "Pekin Robins & Small Softbills: Management & Breeding" - it's not cheap but worth every penny. ISBN 978-0888396068 - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Beautiful birds 😍😍😍
Thank you and with love from singapore...

Excellent stuff!
My absolute favorite softbill!! The song makes my soul so happy!! To see your success in breeding them is fantastic!! I want some so bad!! Here is USA they are all but almost impossible to find now, and if so are very very expensive!! I could watch this all day!! Love the natural setting you keep them in!! Congrats!!
@@siporritt Have you ever had any luck breeding them indoors even in a larger planted avairy? Or is it like "most all softbills" the outside wind rain, and outdoor environment just does the trick?. I'm soo worried about predators here on the lake. We have eagles, weasel, raccoon, mink, occosianal 🐻bear, I think the cost of building such a predators proof avairy would leave me no $$$ to add the birds!!! LOL.
I have a friend who owns a quarantine station in CA. I'm trying to figure out a way to get enough Peking robins, silver eared mesia and other softbills that are VERY WANTED IN USA. Buy them there in UK, Denmark ect.. and bring them over . She brings large amounts of finches and softbills from SA. And Portugal over here. I see no reason why she can't bring robins ect also from UK European nations over here.
@@siporritt Yes I have a friend that owned a quarantine station in CA. I'm trying to fig out a way to get birds from you and others in UK and EUROPEAN nations and bring robins over. She gets finches from Portugal Spain and softbill from SA. India also. So I see no reason why not? I would myself take 6pr of Robin's in a heartbeat!! Not to mention the hundreds of others who want them in USA.
How "tuff" do you really think they are? Temp wise? What about periods way below zero. Like even -30° zero at night. F. And even -10below F to -20 below F. Daytime. With shelters from wind. A period could last a week or so, before temps in upper 20-30sF daytime. Is this just to Brutal for them? I think most folks below the Canadian boarder probably house them indoors for winter months just to be on safe side.? I k own they can Handel the snow. But our subzero temps can get brutal at times deep winter. Plus I'm afraid that all fruits, pattees, insects would just freeze before they could even eat them in time? And that doesn't include windchill temps. Are they that tuff? Even our local chickadees ect.. look brutally uncomfortable out there, but seem to make it thru it. What's your thoughts on that. Troy
@@siporritt wow, nice 👍🏻. They are expensive in the US
Nice video!
Ha! That Eurasian Blackbird in the background sings better than most Red Billed Leiothrix!
Love this! Thanks so much for posting! Do you know where one might find them in the US?
muito lindo esse pássaro
Magnifique ! Combien de nichées avez vous par an avec les rossignols ?
This is my dream bird to breed
Это т.н."китайский соловей" , довольно известная клеточная птица.К соловьям правда прямого отношения не имеет, а скорее ближе к кустарницам или тимелиям.Привлекательны расцветка и пение этой птицы.
Onde posso comprar um casal ?
