BB - what a lovely song! Longer than my male's but just as quiet. Almost wish I had mine in the house so I could enjoy him up close (and maybe record his song). Mine was supposedly caught in Puerto Rico - do you know where this bird came from?

PS: There is a little nursery down the street from us and the owner has a small aviary hidden among his plants. His male strawberry has the prettiest, longest and loudest song I've ever heard from a strawberry. He doesn't have a female for him, so maybe this bird needs to 'advertise' his presence?

Iso: When recording their songs, I stood very close to them but out of their sight, thanks to a solid partition. I guess you cannot do the same, because of your different arrangement of the aviary.
Yes, I think that, like a lonely male canary, he longs for a companion in a loudly way.
According to the seller, my birds originated from Cambodia.
