This is a love story of me and my Tinkerbell, a free flying Congo African Grey parrot CAG , as we roamed about the mountains and forests and cities of Taiwan. She loves to go riding with me on the motorbike as she sit on a perch on the handle bar.

Full details of that and more are in that webpage, together with URLs to the relevant Webshots folders of hundreds of photos. Without those photos, what I wrote will never be believed
As with all love story, it is happy and sad.

Hi..Mr.shanlung...nice to see you again...(it have been along time)
I have been read about your African Gray since I don't have one.
Now I have my African Gray(2 years old) and I am in love with her.
As I remember, your last news, Tinkerbell was transfer to the Zoo.
How is he(she) now?...I hope it will be the happy ending story.

Hello my friends,
I am happy to be here.
I am sorry I can only write in English.
Mr Goodpie,
Tinkerbell is in Taiwan and looked after by my friend. Every year I will fly back to Taiwan to be with her.
Shama Yingshiong was given to the Jurong Bird Park in May 2006. When I went back to see Yingshiong one year later in Jurong Bird Park, Yingshiong remembered me. You can read that in
Part 6 - Yingshiong & Tinkerbell - A good closure April 2008
http://shanlung.livejournal.com/2008/04/
I will be honored if you can translate what I have written here or the articles I wrote in the website for your members here. Bird clubs in Russia, Spain, and non English speaking countries have translated what I said into their language.
Shama Yingshiong was caught from the jungle when he was 3 years old.
I kept a diary, on a day by day, that showed the training so that he accept me as a friend.
The most important part is that I treated him with respect and dignity due to a sentient being and I accepted that he is my equal.
What I have done can also be done by you. You will find I have no secrets.
Here are some videos.
Of Yingshiong flying to me when I call
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b56Bqb3tEE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAsApXZd1Yo
When Yingshiong must go back, I tell him to fly back to cage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVMbbxjj
If I can do that with a shama, please consider trying that with your birds.
Warmest regards

Hi...Mr.Shanlung
Sorry in confused between Shama Yingshiong and Tinkerbel. I am glade to here that Tinkerbel is in a good care of your friend. I think the best place for the human feed parrot is in human home. The one who love and care of her not the Zoo.
The story of Shama Yingshiong and your diary "I kept a diary, on a day by day, that showed the training so that he accept me as a friend" is very interesting. I will fallow the web and read it when I am not this busy.
I was own my lovely love bird; she was much closed to me. In my house she will fly to me every time I called her. One day, the door was open by accidental, she flow out. She sits on the big tree and look at me then she fly away and never came back to our house. May be your diary can give me the answer why.
I am agree with you for the translate all the story in Thai. But my English is not that good. I hope OUR WEB MASTER (please..) or My uncle C.TAN will help in translating for us.
Ms.Goodpie
I can't write English 555.
But kitty75 can read and speak sure. :pint:
Goodpie and friends,
I am now writing from Muscat, Oman. I was busy for a while and had not the time to write.
Goodpie, getting your love bird to fly to you is only one step in the beginning. There are many more steps before you can take or allow your bird outside.
If you have the time to read what I have written, you will see also that both Tinkerbell and Yingshiong were taught to fly to different places that I named.
A very important step will also be hide & seek recall. From different rooms where your bird cannot see you, you must call to them and they will fly and look for you and come to you.
You then must take the bird to a much bigger place than just your home. In a big big place such as a closed gymnasium so the bird get used to much bigger area.
All those details are in Tinkerbell webpage.
Even so, taking a well trained bird outside ALWAYS will have an element of risk involved. Accidents can happen. A sound may frighten them so much that they fly away. A hawk may attack them.
So before you take a bird outside, you must know your bird very well and can recognise how the bird feel.
And be prepared for the worse.
Warmest regards
Shanlung

I am glad to listen to your trick. So our club will establish our flavored bird for a flying competition. All members will take their macaws and parrots out of cages and also Mr. Peter'(ท่านลิบ จอมยุทธอินทรีย์) birds too.
take it easy

Goguy,
I came into this site with respect and had not offer insult to you or anyone else.
Have I said anything that offended you that you so deliberately want to be rude to me?
Make clear what you are trying to say to me.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
For my other friends here that might wish to know more of what I have done, there is an update in my livejournal.
Catching up in Muscat and Riamfada might fly with me
http://shanlung.livejournal.com/79690.html (http://shanlung.livejournal.com/79690.html)
Dear shanlung;
I'm so glad to read again your updates concerning your beloved birds. Please visit us often.
=======================
Please read my following message very carefully.
Referring to Goguy's message, assuredly speaking, please disregard/ignore it because he did not say anything to you inappropriately; or he did not really mean anything bad to you. His English writing ability might mislead you in some ways. He has tried his best to express his thoughts in words, however, many words written have confused you (and me, too). Please do not take this tiny mishap into consideration and do not let it bother you, OK?
Good day and be prosper!!!
I'm agree with Mr. Ben.
Normally, Thai people are not good in English. So am I, Poor English too.
I belived Goguy just want to say Hello and wellcome you to join this website.
Regards,
Wisuit
Ben, Wisuit,
Thank you for clearing up the misunderstanding.
Goguy,
*handshake*
Those who could read English will see in all that I wrote of the clear requirements and the precautions and training that must be done if you want to allow your birds/parrots to fly.
Even so, there may be danger that can only be minimised and never totally eliminated.
But back to the present.
I got a call to take Riamfada this evening, Muscat time.
Riamfada will get to fly with me.
I will be writing of that training that we both will be doing together.
Warmest regards
Shanlung

Keep in touch...
Folks,
It is kind of strange how much creatures in my house can energise me. And birdies especially.
As you all know, first was Tinkerbell, then came Yingshiong.
Now it is Riamfada.
Here is a trip over my last weekend, made without him. In the near future, you all will be seeing Oman through our collective eyes the way you had seen Taiwan via me and Tinkerbell.

Understanding the mind of your grey and other parrots
2600 years ago, Sun Tzu wrote his Ping Fa better known perhaps to you as 'The Art of War'
One fundamental underlie his thoughts in his PingFa.
知 己 知 彼
zhi ji zhi bi
百 战 百 胜
bai zhan bai sheng
or
Know yourself, Know your opponent
A hundred battles, a hundred victory.
I am not saying we treat our grey as an enemy to do battle with.
But if we understand them, it may make it that much easier to live with them and to train with them.
Whether you want to train with them as friends, or to train them as you the "Alpha', understanding their mind must help.
And perhaps those that thought they must dominate them and be the Alpha might even change their mind instead.
And perhaps those that have been bitten and otherwise terrorised by their grey might be bitten a lot less and enjoy their parrot a lot more, and find training with them a lot easier. And in bonding with them.
If you understand the mentality of your parrot, that might go a long way to becoming friends together. And save you lot of pain and heartaches in the process.
Notwithstanding that was written in early 2005, I cannot add further to that.
I think this is one of the most important of the many entries I have written over the last ten years.
I find what I wrote to be applicable to my currently living with Riamfada, and to Yingshiong even if YS was not a grey.
My 2 cents and for all it is worth.

free fighting the pet birds would b one of the most difficult task for all parrot owners, yet they still wanna try... if only i had a chance to do it before my cockatoo flew away, i might not have to lose her and to suffer under depression until now...

Just to say hello here
I have no more birds with me.
Having to say goodbye is painful.
I am looking for a country to retire in, and only then, I will look for a bird as companion

Part one written on Mar 26 in my facebook
I thought I should mention in here.
A bit of the background to that. You knew I given up Yingshiong the white rumped shama to the Jurong Bird Park in 2005. I refused blank cheque offers so that he could fly in huge aviaries in JBP.
I went back to see him in 2008
Shama Yingshiong - Final Closure (http://"http://shanlung.livejournal.com/2008/04/10/")
Then I was there and wrote of that about a year ago uncertain if I seen Yingshiong
New camera at Jurong Bird Park // Shades of Yingshiong (http://"http://shanlung.livejournal.com/141331.html")
I was afraid of asking for Yingshiong as that was so many years ago, even if it seem to me just a short while back. What if I was told Yingshiong died or they at the JBP do not know what I was talking about. After all, they have thousands of birds, bigger and more valuable than a tiny white rumped shama.
I now cut to a recent posting I did in my facebook
You know I do not have birdies now and not have any until I find that place I will retire in where ever that might be. I thought my interactions with birdies will be restricted to what I can shoot in my camera even though I got myself a year pass into Jurong Bird Park. I also got a year pass into Singapore Zoo , and a year pass into Gardens by the Bay. But perhaps my interactions with birds might be more than just looking at them. I accepted an offer to be a Docent of Wildlife Reserves Singapore , an offer made to me I suspect largely because I am a year pass holder and not because of me as Shanlung. That will give me free and unlimited access into the Zoo and JBP. I am still undergoing training to be Docent in the JBP. That depends also on my being able to pass the tests they conduct. And my being in Singapore long enough (remember I am about to go on my walkabout to check out retirement places). In a strange way, I will be having a lot to do with all kinds of parrots from African greys to Hyacinth Macaws, white rumped shamas to green leaf birds, and Hornbills, and raptors and more. See what Jurong Bird Park is about. I strongly suggest that those planning to visit JBP for the first time should allocate an entire day here at the least. You might even see and talk to me as one of your guide into the bird world.
http://www.birdpark.com.sg/ (http://www.birdpark.com.sg/)
I was assigned to the station of my choice and into the JBP. In last weekend, 22 March 2014, I and others were at the JBP for station training. Part of the training was a guided walk into the South East Asian aviary. When we were there, I saw a white rumped shama flying in the huge walk in aviary and not in the side aviaries of that SEA exhibit. That shama flew in front of me a couple of times.
After that walk and the training session was over, I finally gathered my courage and asked that guide how long he was in JBP. If he told me he was there for 5 years or so, I would not ask if he known Yingshiong. He told me he was there for 15 years.
I then asked if he knew of Yingshiong with my heart in my mouth. To my surprise, he told me yes, he know of Yingshiong. And that he was flying about in that huge walk in aviary. He asked how I knew. I then told him I am the Shanlung who gave him up. He smiled and said that yes, he been to my web pages a long time ago but had not known I was among the latest batch of Docents.
I smiled too. That likely it was Yingshiong that flew a couple of time in front of me.
And since I am a Docent there, I will be seeing a lot more of Yingshiong.
And I bought my ticket to Taiwan , Apr 10-24, where I will be seeing Tinkerbell again.

Part 2, originally written in facebook on Mar 30
On the 26 March, I wrote that I might have seen Yingshiong my old shama. Go back to that entry if you have not seen that.
Anyway, today on 30 March, was another of the Docent training at JBP from 1 to 3 pm. When that was over, I walked out of JBP with the others in my group. I was not certain if I want to check if YS was there and if he still knew me. I was a bit of a coward. I then retraced my steps and went back into JBP. I am still a Friend of Birds and a yearly pass holder to walk into JBP and Singapore Zoo.
I was glad not many people were in the South East Asia rain forest exhibit. With a heavily planted over center section walk in aviary and with hundreds of birds of different color and sizes there.
I walked and called "Yingshiong come come come". Nothing came. I tried that a few times , glad no one was there. I reached the far end and saw a little shama high above me on a branch. I was not even sure if that was Yingshiong as those tiny white rumped shama looked so much alike.

I stood there watching him for ten minutes and decided that could not be Yingshiong. He then dived from his branch down towards me and did a circular flight about me and landed on the ground about 3-4 feet in front of me. He then flew to the side and perched there.

No other birds which were not even as shy as a shama would have done that. He sang very softly to me. I mentioned the very soft singing of YS before in http://www.shanlung.com/shamasong.html (http://www.shanlung.com/shamasong.html)
I did not have my Olympus EPL5.
That camera gave up the ghost last night when I went with my wife to celebrate Earth hour with Spiderman https://www.facebook.com/events/1425245187720226/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/1425245187720226/)
I was going to take that to Olympus repair center to see if that camera of just one year can be resurrected.
I only had my Nokia state of art phone of 7 years ago. I resisted the arm twisting done by my wife on me to take her Iphone. That old Nokia could not take good photos. I had to be very near YS to take the photos you are seeing.
YS then flew 15 meters away to a branch on high tree. That was near a bench so I went there to sit and see what else that shama would do.
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3676/13509792893_f668142680.jpg)
In a while, he flew down nearer to me. I decided I would not even try to get YS to land on me as he needed to be wild.

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2868/13510117354_6c9624d221.jpg)
I remained contended he flew down near me. After another 30 minutes or so, I said my goodbye to him and that we will meet again.
