Watching mannikins
We just found the grey-headed mannikins for the first time... thus the big smile.

This little guy just doesn't seem to realize that he's free to fly away. Or he's just really comfy in my hand.

Mannikin Hypnosis
Jake discovered that if you release them slowly in this position, the birds will just lay still in...

Hello Aurelien
Very nice Photos , thanks for the show

Is the Streak-headed Mannikin a L.t. tristissima or a calaminoros ?

Hello Aurelien,

many thanks for those wonderful photographs of the grey-headed mannikins. We don´t have any of them in Europe in our aviaries. But I think, it´s much more satifying to watch them in their natural habitat...
Wonderful coulours - the lighter lower beak, the yellow rump and tail...
Where did you find the flock of the grey-headed munias?

Greetings,
Steffi

Hello Aurélien,

indeed, beauty shots. I've never seen fotos of M. cancieps anywhere near the quality shown here.
I was wondering what kind of project is going on there? Is this an academic group doing research on the birds (it looks pretty well organized and professional, blood samples taken, possibly for genetic studies?). Is there more info or a contact person?

Best regards,
Sven

Hi Aurelien,
Thanks for the wonderful pictures. It is good to see the birds realy.
Sorry that non of these birds don't have come to Europe. But perhaps later?
My best wishes
Peter
