    Captive Breeding of Derbyan Parakeet - your thoughts on this option

    In the Sichuan thread there's been a lot of talk about Derbyan Parakeet - a species that seems to have gone through big recent population falls and range reduction. Part of this trend surely comes from habitat loss - a trend that has been partly tackled through reforestation projects and...

Anybody who knows this bird in its juv plumage can...

    Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker - Sichuan

    Diceaum melanoxanthum - think this is new for Opus - small flock of 4 birds, seen yesterday, seemingly did everything they could to choose the worst places to be photographed - either on tree-tops with harsh backlighting - or in a tangle of branches. Finally got this - the bird is summer visitor...
