White-crested Hornbill, just got out of the quarantine, hehe aim almost deseperate to get these to breed so I put up a nest box a few days ago, their previous owner raised over 10 young ones.


A local chicken species, I used to keep my 40 birds free ranging but as they are likely to breed with Red Junglefowl they are now keept in a aviary.

 

Northern Cassowary, I think


My male Southern Cassowary, very friendly and is a good friend


Lesser Bird of Paradise, will get rid of these very soon. Plan to get them to Thai zoo next week.

 

Red Bird of Paradise, I have 1 pair of these, here they are in their old aviary, not very suitable for these kind of birds, they now live In a much larger one.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing them with us.

 

You've got some great photos.

 

This is the part of my collection aim most proud of

One of my tropical duck aviaries, these species is so uncommon that I dont dare to keep them in my large pond with the swans, geese and whistling ducks.

My Hartlaub's Ducks.


My pair, bought from a breeder in Thailand three months ago.

 

The nest boxes, no breedig yet however.

I plans to put somekind of francolin into this aviary in the future, just I have to figuree out which is most suitable

 

This zoo looks brilliant. I like the adjutants, hornbills and your birds of paradise.

Do you have a picture of the red bird of paradsie's new aviary?

 

They are going to Khao Kheow Zoo. They have more experiance with these birds.

I will go to Bangkok and buy some birds next week and will then bring these to the zoo at the same time.

 

Here is the aviary were I keep them



Not ideal but they are doing fine so far, but better than their old one as well. Now they can at least be out in the sun if they want to, and the new one is much larger.


Swinhoe Male.

 

My group o Great Currasows, I keep 2 females and 1 male.



My pair of Plain Chacalaca Ortalis vetula mccallii, raised a number of chicks this year.

Indian Red junglefowl, I dont know how many I have anymore they are really, really shy and I never got close to them. Last week I saw 8 individuals including a dead chick, this week I have seen 12. They at least have a high demand of food.
