these birds are annoying. I caught this specie twice and they died. I caught those black and white small birds in droves but they died. Ion know why the never every stay alive. I later caught a white pigeon with pinkish red legs. Very cute. Took it home and it adjusted to the enviroment, didn't tie it. Mum came home then and forced me to take it back where I saw it.... I took the bird far away and you wouldnt bliv it, the bird flew back home. I made three trips to return it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Op you and I have the same passion..... The waste bin is too porous for air, those birds can be kept outside in the very open, did you drop millet for them, so pls get a cage with partitions and artificial flowers.... I have that same kind and it's been with me for 8 months now |

Not all birds are strong to withstand captivity.most of the common birds we see around daily can hardly survive outside the wild life except for the pigeon. If u want a smal bird u go for the exotic birds.the best u can get around here is the yellow canary,smaller than D one u caught,NOTE:she's not D one u said u see in ur compund dat makes noise,she is smaller,with bright yellow not dark lyk D one around uu,has longer lifesan,can stay years. Pls stop to catch dose birds,birds are very faithful,for each one killed,u have shattered D hrt of the partner. Will share my personal experience another time |

I think you have some loose screws in ur head and u should be arrested for animal cruelty. If you want birds as a pet go find a pet shop and see if you can get some. |

O.P uhmm some birds are not built for captivity just as some birds can never leave a particular habitat and when that habitat get distroyed by man, those birds dwindle and go into extinction. last year u caught more than 6 and they all died, I recommend u first gather as much information about these type of birds,learn about them study how often they tend to stay close to the ground, cos I see these birds around my house I can tell u for sure that they don't stay at a place. just look for another type of bird much smaller to tame or train. u can Google these words ( African birds that can survive in captivity or birds found in Nigeria that can survive in captivity) . |

IndianBwoy: Just 4 days ago, I heard a squeal just outside my apartment and I rushed out to see what was making the noise. I saw a kestrel struggling to impale a finch(shakuro) with its talons. But the finch fought hard, trying to let loose. It was squealing so loudly and beating its wings so fast, I just couldn't watch seeing that finch die. The way the finch struggled forced the kestrel to stay aground to kill the bird before flying off with it, I just couldn't watch seeing the finch die. So I kicked the kestrel so hard that it let the finch go. The finch couldn't fly, it was stunned and injured. The kestrel was waiting on the roof of the flat, waiting for an opportunity to finish the bird. I was between the hungry kestrel and the wounded finch. I know I shouldn't have interfered with nature, but just had to. So, I picked up the finch and nursed it. When I got back from work yesterday, the finch was darting around in the big basket I kept it, so I set it free. For a kestrel to have succeeded in catching that particular specie of finch(sparrow/shakuro) which is one of the most agile and hard to catch birds, meant the kestrel is a formidable bird of prey. 2 Likes |

tosinjay: Humans have ways of committing suicide and so do animals too... It might not be scientifically proven, but if u catch 100 birds of dat specie, all will die leaving you wondering how dey died... Once you catch dem and touch dem with ur bare hands,and try to keep dem.dey activate their suicide mode immediately |

When you cage birds, you already deny them of the greatest pleasure in life which is flying so they die quickly. I'll advise you to stop it at once or you'll have a special place built for you in hell |

That Bird you are hold is a Weaver and belongs to the family Ploceidae. It Is very Imposible to keep them as pet because of their body system. They surfer from heart attack, muscle bind, cold, chronic respiratory disease( crd) once in captivity or restricted movement. Their body is so small to generated the required heat needed for survival. And notice they walk as in hop hop hop every thing about them is fast! If you want them to survive build a cage as big as football field, then for those that eat rice or corn, plant enough for them! You would see them go invite all their villager come. You just cant domesticate them. I Love Avians and thaats my little knowledge. I've been keeping parot, Turkey, Bush fowls, pigeons, ducks... Wild pigeons are so caring and survives well once their diet is balance. Or better still---->teach them to eat what ever you eat. Give the what ever drugs you take according to their body size. If you spend much time with them, I bet you'l soon stop eatin chicken. 1 Like 1 Share |

Pls Dont be a Wicked man.... ...That Bird you are holding is a Weaver and belongs to the family Ploceidae. It Is very Imposible to cage them as pet because of their body system. They immediately develop and die from Cardiac Arrest, Muscle bind, Cold, Chronic Respiratory Disease( CRD) once in captivity or restricted movement. ------ Their body is so small to generate the required amount of heat needed for survival. And try notice they always walk as in hop hop hop every thing about them is fast fast fast just to keep up the heat! ---- Abeg just 4get am. Or If you want them to survive build a cage as Big as Football field, then for those that eat rice or corn, plant enough for them! As they always love to harvest by themselves. Dont ask me why because, Have you ever seen Pusssy Cat on Dog Chains before?! ------ just like as I have never seen a Cat eat a dead Rat killed by human or another means. Damn Fork it!!! These birds just cant eat from you, man!!!!! ....But if you have a rice or maize farm You would see them go invite all their villagers come. You just cant domesticate them. I Love Avians just as I love women and thats my little knowledge and expirence about them. I keep parot, Turkey, Bush fowls, pidgeons, ducks... Wild pidgeons are so caring and survives well once their diet is balance. Or better still- --->teach them to eat what ever you eat. Give them what ever drugs you take according to their body size. Sometimes they develop headachs too. If you have any, just see them as your child or another familiy member you need to care for. Pls Remember: If you want most birds to be in good health always dont cage them. Let them live in Places far from city noise. I give all my birds freedom of movement. We stay i noiseless environment. If you spend much time with them, I bet you'l soon stop eating Avians. They too are God's handwork... Oya take the 11 commandmen. Thou Shall not cage or eat Birds. 2 Likes |

Walexz02: No, I think the specie you meant are weaver birds, the look similar but different.. Those ones are migratory birds that move in flocks and extremely noisey as you said, its not uncommon to find them with hundreds of beautifully woven nest near corn fields during rainy seasons.. Those one are farmers number one enemy birds, as the can easily decimate a corn field within a few days.. I remember my late grand ma use to pay hunters to shot there nest on the mango tree the usually camp just to protect her maize farm.. ..We call it Asha in Igboland.. see example below.. 1 Share

I can never understand the desire to imprison birds as pets. they are meant to spread their wings and soar. abeg free them and go for already domesticated animals like dogs. after all a dog is a man's best friend. respect nature and stop killing these birds abeg. |
