Kingfisher in the family

date: 19 Dec 08
Our part time maid caught a small kingfisher in the evening and show it to me. She found it at the void deck, helpless and tired. Without even bother to struggle the bird allow her to hold her.
i put the bird in a make-shift cage and throw in some cooked rice, took a picture and decided to ask the bird shop owner the type of bird.
It is a very small bird, with long beak, and there are shades of blue at the back. The shop owner could not figure out what type of bird , but finally after some thoughts told me it must be a kingfisher. He told me to buy some fishes for the bird to eat before it got too weak.
So abby, joshua and me walked to the fish shop and asked for small fishes that are suitable for birds, instead of helping me, he suggest to continue to feed the bird with rice for 2 days first before feeding fish.
So, as a first timer in rearing bird, i decided to take his advise..
