Shamas are songbirds. They're traditionally kept in cages and left to hop around and sing in them. We realised that Yingshiong likes to play with shiny and/or light objects like leaves, so I made him some toys, beads and sequins tied together with elastic thread. He likes "banging" them to death like he'd do with insects he eats.

Yingshiong's story is at http://shanlung.livejournal.com and http://shimmertje.livejournal.com
