Kudos to the Angkatan Pertahanan Awam for the rescue of a kitten!
This is a rescue story from my friend, Yim Soi Chee and it happened in July 2020! Please do read it, the Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (Civil Defence Forces) responded when she called 999 and they used a youtube video of a mother cat’s call to get the kitten to start mewing. Then, they used water…

We published Julia’s newly rescued kitten for adoption and a kind reader from Klang responded with her interest to adopt Tigger. Meanwhile, Tigger was warded on the night of his rescue because he ran a fever. It’s been three days now at the hospital. The fever subsided on the next day and Tigger is well…

Photo updates of Birdy!
Here are some photo updates of Birdy from Reymont! Birdy is now the size of a sparrow. She is doing well and is also very strong!
Birdy’s progress
Birdy can now remove the the bark off of wood now. It’s progress….!
Birdy’s training continues
Birdy is now learning to hunt for insects in the “holes”. There are insects in the holes and Birdy is now being trained to hunt so that she can survive “out there” eventually. It goes to show that fostering birds isn’t an easy job at all. You have to know what type of bird it…
Birdy has new feathers!
Lots of new to share about Birdy today, from Reymont. Birdy has changed to her new feathers now. Based on her size (measured) and after consulting a bird expert, Birdy is small for her age. So, most likely, she was a rejected child, ie. her parents could have thrown her out as she was the…
Birdy’s lessons
Reymont sent some updates on Birdy! Reymont is training Birdy to eat wet food on her own now. Tomorrow he is setting up a bigger cage for Birdy so that there’s more space to hop around. Birdy can also fly higher now. She flew up to the stationary ceiling fan and it was quite a…
Birdy starts flying!
Reymont sent this video below. Birdy has started flying!! And she is also learning to peck food on her own from her plastic feeder! Hello, Birdy!!! So happy to hear you chirping! I’ve been playing Birdy’s video every now and then, just to hear her chirp (the one where she was perching on my arm)…
Birdy enjoys sunbathing!
Here’s a video Reymont sent this morning – he says Birdy loves sunbathing! Be well and happy, Birdy!!
Birdy in her new home!
We reached the meeting place in KL at about 3pm, and Reymont arrived moments later. The transfer from our carrier into Reymont’s bird cage was done in the car as Reymont wants to be completely careful. I did the transfer and told Birdy she will be going to her new home. Reymont mentioned that when…
Birdy’s lunch
I fed Birdy a small lunch before the car trip. You’re going to your new home soon, Birdy. You’ll have bird-friends there and be well taken care of by Uncle Reymont and Aunty Joey. They will teach you to fly too. All set for our car trip. I know this is the best thing to…
Birdy (Day 4)
After breakfast today, we tried to give Birdy flying lessons in the bedroom, but the room wasn’t big enough as she kept banging onto the wall. Or she would just fly a short distance. It’s either a very short distance like this, but she bangs on the wall, so that’s not an option. Instinctively,…
Birdy’s flying lessons (Day 3 evening)
Birdy is wrapped in tissue paper before each feeding session so that they sweat of my palm will not make her wet. The tissues have to be changed or added on because she flicks off access food. It’s not easy to get the amount “exactly right”. So, it’s good that Birdy shakes off whatever that’s…
