pics of Ceras during moult

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.

Ceras after his moult

ceras proved to be like what he was supposed to be. A long gene shama. As I was hoping his tails would reach more than 10 inches, it actually exceeded 11. To be sure,  I had to catch him out but of cos, that is something I did not want to do. He moulted by Jan 2012. In fact it was considered late. Anyway, below are some.pictures of him.

crotalus, the shama from grik

This is a photo of crotalus. A shama from grik or at least where it's claimed.it's from. Sometimes, it is really difficult.to.know where it is really from. Anyway, from the character of the shama, it seems to be quite good. It's a wild caught taimong. Let's see how it turns out to be. Attached are some photos of him when I got him after a month or two.

ceras when he was about 80 days old.

Ceras my white rumped shama hatched in June 2012. It's one of the long genes shama. As a taimong, he did prove to be the more boisterous one in the nest. Tail length that he reached during taimong stage is about 5 inches.
