BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Birds Tinkerbell - Love of a flying grey parrot in Taiwa

Masini,

Not only are they beautiful, their intelligience are so profound and humbling.
It is so important to regard them as companions and not as pets. They will return your love many times over.

Latest update. This chapter with Riamfada will end in just a few days.

I hope you never have to make use of what I have written here.

But you never know that dreadful day may come. And perhaps then you are glad that you read this.

I know LiBai is not grey and bill not hooked.
I also write a lot which might have nothing to do with birdies at all.

I also might write of grey as well drawing lessons from times with Tinkerbell and Riamfada.
This healing too might get me to going through the photos of Riam my wife took and posted up. Not
to talk about likely coming trip to see Tink.

I find it emotionally difficult to abandon this thread as Tink is that first love and still the main love and without her, the rest of my path would not be possible.

I have never come in contact with a GGLB. Lovely. Congratulations on your new companion. I look forward to reading about your life with him.

Hi Heather,

Few folks, at least in the West , ever heard of shama for that matter.


You might even have missed Yingshiong, the white rumped shama that was a gift from Tinkerbell. WR shama is the world finest song bird weighing 30 grams.
Shamas are classified as 'aviary birds'. They are among the most timid of birds but they are also the best song birds in the world.

Yingshiong was born wild . Yingshiong was caught in the forest at 3 years old and he was 5years old when he was given into my care.
You can see from the daily blog I kept that he flew to me on recall within a month. Breeders of 4 decades of experience with shamas told me my photos are the first ever of a male shama landing on a human. I just think none of them thought of ever trying in the first place. And they had not met that birdwhisperer of Tsaoling that inspired me that much

You can see how I adapted what I wrote in Tinkerbll Legacy to work with a shama instead. Why a shama? I just could not get another parrot into my life even then at that time.







You can hear him in these recordings.

I hope Li Bai the GGLB will honor me in time with the same friendship as Yingshiong
