I think the bird needed a bigger cage coupled with one or more mirrors to give it the allusion of being imprisoned with friends. Since you say you provided food and water it must've chosen to commit suicide out of loneliness. Catch one again and decorate the basket with multiple mirrors then let me know the outcome. 2 Likes |

Baroba:Noted Sir, thanks. Though, I caught about six of something similar to the specie you recommended few months ago on our mango tree. They use to make a lot of noise and deleaf the tree. This one eat rich a lot. So, I was told. However, I will browse about the bird. |

You cut their freedom to fly, they die. Simple. Not all birds endure restrictions. Eg a sparrow will never eat anything u give it. They just wanna be free and fly 1 Like |

OP, let me just tell you one confirmed fact about these birds you captured.... They commit suicide when being captured by men... Its natural for these specie, as soon as humans beings touched them, dey commit suicide because they won't be accepted back into their folds if they are released. So don't waste ur time and look for human friendly birds. These ones are no no. I have expected someone to say this from the previous comments. |

They are supposed to be free, they can't be tamed they are wild birds my younger bro caught one it was ok for two weeks and it died we kept its cage on a orange tree in my compound where others come to play with it. Everything was provided but it died anyways I thought its tired of looking at scary faces or Died of frustration Or boredom Or poverty Or depression Or loneliness Cuz hunger is out of the equation It doesn't talk so how would i know 4 Likes |

IMASTEX: TO YOUR QUESTION, THEY CAN BE KEPT AS PETS. I HAVE ACTUALLY KEPT THIS SAME SPECIES OF BIRD AS PET AND LATER SOLD THEM ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE NAME WE USUALLY CALL THIS SPECIE OF BIRD IS 'ZINC BIRD' SINCE THEY NORMALLY BUILD THEIR NEST IN THE ROOF OF HOUSES. FROM WHAT I SEE IN THAT PICS, THAT BIRD IS STILL A BABY BIRD BECAUSE IT STILL HAS WHITE STRIP ON THE SIDE OF IT BEAK LIKE BERI BERI, AND WILL NEED PROPER ATTENTION FOR IT TO SURVIVE SINCE IT STILL RELY ON THE MOTHER FOR A BETTER PART OF IT FEEDING. THAT SPECIE OF BIRD IS VERY EASY TO KEPT AS PET AND THEY ARE VERY STRONG, AND EAT FOODS WHICH ARE VERY COMMON LIKE COOK RICE, BREAD, DRY GARRI, AND WHAT HAUSA PEOPLE CALL JUORO E.T.C I WILL ADVICE YOU TO GET AN ADULT OF THIS BIRD, AND THEN GIVE IT CLEAN WATER AND BREAD OR RICE, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE THE ONE TO GET TIRED OF IT. IT IS A VERY LIVELY BIRD 2 Likes |

Baroba:. On the other hand you may go for weaver bird (Google), they feed on virtually every food man eats. You have the one like pix.(female), pix. with black head(male), & very dark with yellow patches (king); growing up we called it champion. (One in a tree like..., very manymany, just like the typical canary. |

IMASTEX: THE ONE HE RECOMMENDED FOR YOU IS A CANARY AND THE TREND HE REFERRED YOU TO, I CREATED IT WITH MY ALT. ACCT. MR DRIX. BUT THE SPECIE YOU CAUGHT ABOUT SIX OF THEM, ARE WEAVER BIRD. IT IS FAR DIFFERENT FROM A CANARY AND BOTH CAN NOT BE COMPARED AS A CANARY IS MORE INTELLIGENT AND CAN MAKE SWEET MELODIES THAN THE WEAVER BIRD. 1 Like |

I also think these kind of birds are difficult to keep.. I once caught a swift and a weaver bird some 10 yrs ago, but they never lived past a day. Although, I had no idea what they ate back then, so I provided the usual food for doves and pigeons.. I later got to find out they eat more of insects.. I once caught a kingfisher too, but the kind of noise it makes made me released it immediately. |
