Red Camelot Macaws in flight @ Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang, Selangor, Malaysia

Red Camelot Macaws is a large, very colorful and attractive bird among many different types of birds trained at Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang, Selangor, Malaysia. 

The photos were taken using Nikon D500 paired with Nikkor 500 PF lens, ISO 1250, F 5.6, EV -1.0. 

Due to its relatively high altitude, topography and forest reserves, Bukit Antarabangsa is a perfect place to train birds. At the same time, the place is home to many exotic residence and migratory birds. They can be found on the trees at the edges of the forest. 

The main target birds in Bukit Antarabangsa include different types Malkohas, Ioras, Doves, Orioles, Woodpeckers, Barbets, Flycatchers, Bee-eaters, Drongos and Bulbuls just to name a few.

  2. Hi Suntoro, as usual, beautiful pictures! On a separate note, do you have an opinion about letting these non-native birds free into the natural surroundings? I notice sometimes these birds escape their owners (from the "missing bird posters" around the neighbourhood) and remain in nature and was wondering if you've seen any negative impacts from that.

    1. Hi there. Thank you very much for your notes and thoughts.
      I agree with you thoughts. Unfortunately the present of non-native birds in the wild certainly impacts the native birds. It is true that there have been many incidences that I witnessed it that the foreign bird or in this case an escapee been attacked by native birds. The foreign bird died. Very pitiful indeed.
