After being quite certain this species is not protected, here is my Orange-sided thrush
Heard that it is quite difficult to keep this bird until he become "api" or comes in form. It wouldn't then be challenging eh?

It likes to bath too:


Loves insects and some small amount of fruits:

Hi 747kuku &land,
Bought from a friend in KL for RM350 out of curiosity. Not singing yet.
I tried searching the internet for the song but none has been posted yet. But I did find 2 recordings of the wild bird though. Not too bad. Hope mine starts singing soon and I can share his song/performance here

Specimen 1 (of course the pic is mine, but sound downloaded ):


Specimen 2:


Just hope with proper feeding and care, he will start singing soon (provided its a male too hahaha!) But from what I read in the Indonesian forum (kicaumania) so far, its one of those more difficult bird to "jadi".
Just sharing
