Such programs are somewhat inefficient anyway – in one study , the breeding success of wild male pheasants was 2-5 times higher than for hand-reared and released ones while for females, hand-reared birds were 3 times as vulnerable to predation as the wild ones. Scaly-breasted Munias seem to be fairly eclectic in their choice of habitat.

Plus hopefully, you will be arrested for mistreating animals. The story is similar for the Red-breasted Parakeet – native and Near Threatened in Thailand and surrounding countries, but with an established breeding population in Singapore, quite likely established from escapees.

There are two main subspecies, the nominate B. coromandus.

A study on the breeding biology of Whitehead’s Broadbill was just published in May 2023 but leaves a bit of a puzzle as the breeding success is described as relatively high, meaning there should be other reasons for the population decline of the species. This is particularly acute in Indonesia ( source ).

The falcon breeds in south-eastern Siberia and Northern China but winters in Southern and East Africa. Apparently, soloensis stands for “Discovered in or native to the Solo River valley” (Wikipedia; the Solo river is a river in Indonesia). Still as impressed as before?

The two main areas, Greater Sundas and Wallacea, are separated by ‘Wallace’s Line,’ a boundary drawn in 1859 by British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who realized that the two areas had totally different birds and animals. So–the book covers islands that belong to the Republic of Indonesia and to Malaysia.
