Now, it is also found elsewhere in HK. The more updated book A Photographic Guide to the Birds of HK also mentioned occurrence of this occasional visitor in MPNR only.   Is there any more updated information about this bird in HK? « Last Edit: Jan 1st, 2006, 1:09am by bfspoonbill » Logged Webcreeper BBS Moderator BBS Member BBS God I'm a webcreeper     Gender: Posts: 1031 Re: Territory of Azure-Winged Magpie ¦Ç³ßÄN¦b­»´ä¤ « Reply #1 on: Jan 2nd, 2006, 10:07pm » Quote Modify Perhaps the bird at Tsuen Wan is a new escape.

Actually, the cage must be very large. How common is it being fed in cage in HK? How will people keep it? Its call is nothing attractive to me. What's the reason of keeping it as pet? Or, do you mean it is an escape from a large public cage (bird park)? Which one has this kind? « Last Edit: Jan 2nd, 2006, 10:19pm by bfspoonbill » Logged ²`ÂÅ Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Territory of Azure-Winged Magpie ¦Ç³ßÄN¦b­»´ä¤ « Reply #3 on: Jan 2nd, 2006, 10:32pm » Quote Modify seen one before in Nam Chung (Luk Geng) Year before. not sure escape or not..

So the bird at Tsuen Wan should either be an escape / released bird, or has strayed from the small group at Mai Po. The Avifauna of Hong Kong says these birds are extremely sedentory so I suppose the probability of escape is higher.   I'm not sure how popular it is as a cage bird.

I think it will be interesting to know spread of (rare) birds, apart from IDing and taking good photos of them. I just wonder whether HKBWS has more updated statistics, even though very preliminary, about the birds in HK. I'm not expert in Biology or related. But it will be very interesting to know more about birds' life. On the other hand, it is understood that the Avifauna took "years" to prepare. The authors had paid a lot of efforts.

Perhaps we may also have something from the Winter Bird Survey. You may like to have a look when these are published.

Not just bird id and photos, Members can share their birding records in the BBS. This is the purpose of having this forum for reporting bird records.
