I've never seen a bird like this before! Is it common?   Thank you for your help!   Denise « Last Edit: May 2nd, 2004, 12:52am by Webcreeper » Logged Denise Guest Re: Found in the city - what is this? « Reply #1 on: May 2nd, 2004, 12:39am » Quote Modify Remove Sorry the pictures don't seem to be working! I guess I had better link to them instead.   http://img27.photobucket.com/albums/v80/denisec/journal/animaloptica/bir d1.jpg http://img27.photobucket.com/albums/v80/denisec/journal/animaloptica/bir d2.jpg http://img27.photobucket.com/albums/v80/denisec/journal/animaloptica/bir d3.jpg   Thank you, and sorry about the broken pictures!   Denise Logged carmen BBS Member BBS God Life is Simple.

Koel is a common bird in Hong Kong. carmen Logged Denise Guest Re: Found in the city - what is this? « Reply #3 on: May 2nd, 2004, 1:01pm » Quote Modify Remove Thanks, Carmen!   I've just done a bit of research on the koel - so that's what happens to your children when you don't look after them yourself!   Denise   PS. Thank you for fixing my pictures, Webcreeper!

He really is a striking bird. I'd LOVE to see one in person!   I've written down the phone numbers you gave me...I'd never have thought to call a hotline for help! It's a pity because last summer I found a baby Tree Sparrow that definitely needed help. (Click here if you'd like to read about it...it's quite sad.)   Denise Logged Webcreeper BBS Member BBS God I'm a webcreeper     Gender: Posts: 1031 Re: Found in the city - what is this? « Reply #8 on: May 4th, 2004, 11:52pm » Quote Modify The numbers are not hotlines to be exact, but I think they would provide help when needed.   Welcome to BBS membership!
