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). Next to me, a local birder tried to get a photo of a Common Iora.

Do much birding in the city, and your thoughts will turn again and again to feral pigeons. Human ingenuity has found a lot of uses for pigeons, though. Like everything else that humans choose to domesticate, though, fancy pigeons sometimes get loose into the environment and then matters take on a less cheerful air.

I enjoy falconry, it’s not merely a sport or hobby, it is a lifestyle. Falconers must always keep their birds somewhat wild so if they get separated or the bird flies off never to return, it can still survive on it’s own without human intervention. Falconers can trap any bird of prey any time they want.
