yes at the vienna zoo - rainforest house ! i guess you're right with shama bird !
I asked you the ring, because this bird doesn't look like any of the European bird species, and zoos nearly always use colour rings on their specimens. I think white-rumped shama suggested by Liam is correct. Is this captive?
Is this bird captive?
I've never seen a bird with a band, but I hope to some day! Very neat that this little guy has one :)
Lots of wild birds are captured and get a band put around their leg with a number on it. Then when these birds are captured again, someone can enter the number into a database and find out where the bird was originally banded at and it's a really great process for science!
