Hi all,
ReplyDeleteWent to the botanical gardens before work today (7/12/10) and saw Sebastians two ill birds, plus one healthy Bluetail and a couple of Japanese Thrushes.

Hi Simon
ReplyDelete2 ill birds ? Do you think my sumo-Robin was ill ?
I think on the contrary it was very healthy and tonic. Plump bird for sure, but ``rất khỏe``.
But I can`t explain why it was so fat and confident with humans. An escapee ?
Cheers
Sebastien
Looks quite deformed to me too...
ReplyDeleteThe sumo-robin is certainly not right. Whether it came out of a cage or not we will never know. It's strange appearance could be the result of an infection which it caught in a cage, or it could just be a deformed wild bird.
