Thanks so much Don,
It's a very smart bird, incredibly tame, thanks for letting me know.
Is semicaerulea the race that is a migrant into Oman as well, and
southern Arabia? There's nothing that helps really in Handbook BOA, I
think the race had not been described at the time of publication,
Very best
Brian
