Talk:White-rumped shama

I had alway thought these were the chinese nightingale as they sing so beautifully for up to hours in the late afternoon. They are the same family as the European nightingale by some. —Preceding unsigned comment added by My Flatley (talk • contribs) 17:20, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The white-rumped shama (Copsychus malabaricus) is a small passerine bird of the family Muscicapidae. Native to densely vegetated habitats in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, its popularity as a cage-bird and songster has led to it being introduced elsewhere. The species feeds on insects in the wild, but in captivity may be fed a diet of boiled, dried legumes with egg yolk and raw meat.Photograph: JJ Harrison
