White-rumped Shama

thx for your interest and help !

yes at the vienna zoo - rainforest house ! i guess you're right with shama bird !

I asked you the ring, because this bird doesn't look like any of the European bird species, and zoos nearly always use colour rings on their specimens. I think white-rumped shama suggested by Liam is correct. Is this captive?

Is this bird captive?

:)

I've never seen a bird with a band, but I hope to some day! Very neat that this little guy has one :)

i see ! sure - a big thing !

Lots of wild birds are captured and get a band put around their leg with a number on it. Then when these birds are captured again, someone can enter the number into a database and find out where the bird was originally banded at and it's a really great process for science!

red ring left foot - thats right - why ?

Probably an escapee? Is there a red ring on its left leg?
