The adults presumably have already learned that humans are not usually good news even if not named Donald Trump. Despite claims to the contrary, the Tiger Shrike was not named after a German tank. A Lesser Cuckoo stayed in one of the Nanhui microforests for a few days, not being afraid of humans at all. Who would have thought.

Not sure if they are breeding but certainly they are trying, though I am not fully convinced of their competence. And of course there are passerines, some which spent the summer at Nanhui, some just returning from their breeding grounds elsewhere. Another new breeding record for Shanghai . Tiger Shrike. Brown Shrike.

After watching Tiger King and having my eyes opened to the world of shady exotic animal "rescue" zoos/sanctuaries (i.e. Somebody told me about Barn Hill Preserve of Delaware where you can pay to "swim with otters" and pet a kangaroo. submitted by /u/likeabaws69 [link] [comments]

It is kind of rare to see a Fairy Pitta during Shanghai’s spring migration as those passing through are all adults rather than inexperienced chicks, and they are in a rush getting to their breeding grounds – but I was lucky. This should not be a problem in Shanghai as the pitta has not been reported to breed here.

Being a bit older myself now, I have to point out that young human males usually do not look that good, at least to me. Breeding in Northern Japan and wintering in the Phillippines, some seem to take a migratory rest stop (and slight deviation) at the Shanghai coast. A juvenile male. The real thing: an adult male. A happier shrike.

For once, eBird gives a good description of the Asian Glossy Starling, calling it a “Fierce-looking, large songbird” As are humans, this species is fairly urbanized – it “sometimes enters urban areas to roost, e.g. in Singapore” (HBW). In Singapore, Common Redshanks mostly drink Tiger Beer.

The bird “spent five months on Mindoro Island in the Philippines during the non-breeding season and migrated through Taiwan, the Chinese east coast, and the Korean peninsula” and on to the Russian Far East (indicating a certain lack of solidarity with Ukraine). This is not really an option at Nanhui though.
