Ceras at different stages of his 2nd moult.

Crotalus towards the end of his first moult.

Crotalus prove to be a wild shama. He always sings and is very active. Even after keeping so long, he still remains wild but a very bold bird tha is not afraid to sing even though it behaves like a newly caught bird. Below are a few pictures of him.

videos of Ceras before 2nd moult

Here are some videos of Ceras.
No doubt his tail.reached about 11 plus inches. His form never really came. He happens to be just a beautiful bird which would display for a short while. Though he was aggressive when young, he proved to be quite a stunner and a friendly bird that responds well to human contact.

Did I do something wrong. Maybe. Probably something went.wrong during his.moult. Anyway, here are some videos within a span of few months.
