Klang is famous for seafood and toddy . I bet you had good time there.

In the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

This evening sky was exceptionally beautiful after a few weeks of dull and gloomy sky. I took Cocoa and Chevy out for shooting at 5.30pm. I didn't want to waste the beautiful blue sky. I hurried home at 6.30pm and quickly drove to a nearby hill which is 15 minutes drive away. This place is one of the best to view sunset.

I am happy that you all enjoyed watching my photos. Thanks.

Sorry, no birdies but I got some nice sunset pics to share. Hope you like them. Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 18-55mm VR #1. #2. #3. #4. #5. #6. #7.

Thanks for your compliment. You are most welcome.

I am selling them in my country. Or you can purchase it at avianweb.com.

WINGS!

Less than a month when the pics were taken.

Taken some pix in the car while waiting for my wife who has gone to the opposite side of the road to buy some breads. Mocha teaching mommy how to make a cheese cake. White faced in the aviary.

As for fan, I bought 2 table fans instead of using the ceiling fan. I thought of removing the ceiling fan because all my tiels and my grey like to perch there.

I raised Cocoa since 6 weeks of age and she was never being clipped. She is 3 years + now and is happily living with us as a flighted grey. It is perfectly normal for a fledgling to bump into walls, windows or etc. It will take a short time for them to learn not to knock into things. Greys are smart. They learn very fast. I have a FB friend who bought her 1st unclipped baby grey. All her previous greys were clipped. I advised her against clipping, or at least allow the bird an opportunity to fly before making decision to clip if she felt she could not live with a flighted grey. I taught her to show her baby all the windows and mirrors in the house. Her grey learns fast and knows how to avoid all those things. The owner is very happy with her new flighted baby and she could tell the big difference between her new flighted grey and her previous clipped greys.

She is more energetic now. By feeding spirulina, she looks kind of dirty and untidy. Will give her a shower after she gets well. I can't take her in the house because I don't want the rest to get infected. BTW I live in a tropical country. The weather here is hot and humid. I remember a nutritionist told me he saved the life of a patient who was bedridden in a hospital. The patient was on glucose drip and the doctor said he could not be saved. Using tons of nutrition supplements, the patient recovered and was discharged. I applied this on my tiel and it worked.

One of my tiels in the aviary was very sick on last Sat morning. She was sitting at the bottom of the aviary when we went to check the tiels in the morning. She couldn't even stand up and was very very weak. When I picked her up she could not even move. I quickly called my vet. She was off on Sat and Sun. I had some Doxycycline anti biotics (for human) which I got it from my Dr friend on the advice by a FB vet to treat one of my tiel's eye infection. I told my vet about the symptoms of the sick tiel and she taught me how to mix the dosage of doxycycline and administer to the tiel. If possible she asked me to get metronidazole antibiotic for this illness. In the mean time I was advised by my vet to syringe feed the bird glucose as the tiel was too weak to eat on her own. I thought my tiel would be gone. Surprisingly, she could stand up the next day. I was thinking that glucose has no other nutrients other than sugar. How could she recover by drinking glucose alone? So I mix glucose with whey protein, spirulina, barley grass and probiotic and syringe fed her 3X a day. On Tuesday, I went to get some metronidazole from my Dr friend. My tiel's health has improved a lot. She can now climb the cage but still weak to fly. She is now eating on her own.

Chevy under going intensive harness training.

Day 6 with us. See how fast Chevy has grown.

My grey has been eating palm nuts for 3 years. Sometimes I add a little bit of red palm oil to her food as well. Once in a while she gets some coconut oil too.
