anda betul pak. selain itu, tajuk2 pepohonan juga pada meranggas jadi lebih 
enak menemukan pergerakan burung. jadi, musim kemarau bisa jadi waktu paling 
bagus untuk pengamatan di baluran, tinggal masalah kuat2an aja, mana yang lebih

Sepertinya sih sarang burung. Yang model begini kalau bukan Remetuk ya Burung 
Madu. tapi lebih condong Burung Madu, karena sarang Remetuk pintu masuknya 
menghadap bawah, mirip model Manyar.
Coba bandingkan dengan foto terlampir...

Research hopes to shed light on H1N1 and wild bird trade
Theresia Sufa ,  The Jakarta Post ,  Bogor   |  Sat, 09/26/2009 12:06 PM  |  
City 
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has finished a joint research program 
with the Halimun Salak Mountain National Park Agency (TNGHS), hoping that the 
result from their combined efforts will shed light on wild bird trading. 
The research, conducted at the eagle conservation site at TNGHS, looked at the 
prevalence and dynamics of the H1N1 Avian Flu pathogen in wild birds sold at 
the Empang bird market in Bogor and wild birds roaming the TNGHS area. 
Joost Philippa, the manager of the project, part of the Wildlife Conservation 
Society's Global Health Program, said research was done from Sept. 5 to Sept. 
18 by staff members from TNGHS and dozens of volunteers from Bogor's 
universities. 
"The research we are doing is more about how we can conserve these species 
because the more birds are taken from the wild to be sold the more endangered 
they will be in the future," he said. 
Researchers collected dead birds from the Empang market and capture wild birds 
from TNGHS. Fluid samples were taken from the birds. 
"Besides taking samples, we will also measure the bird's weight and take their 
picture to put in a database. We also mark the birds by putting rings on their 
legs before releasing them back to the wild so if they get captured again we 
will be able to tell their movements, survival rate, breeding age, life cycle, 
diet and the rate at which the bird carry diseases," Joost said, adding that 
the rings were loaned from the Indonesian Science Institute (LIPI). 
He said birds from Empang bird market were analyzed because vendors got them 
from TNGHS, often putting them in one cage with other wild and domesticated 
birds. 
He said this facilitated the transfer of avian flu from wild to domesticated 
birds, but the flu strain itself originated from wild birds. 
He said, the trading of wild birds was a potential breeding ground for new 
infectious diseases that may one day threaten the health of humans, domestic 
and wild animals. 
He said the density and trading of multi species populations could facilitate 
transmission and mutation of pathogens such as the H1N1 virus. 
He said such pathogens could circulate among wild birds without causing 
symptoms but if an infected bird was caged with other species, such as in 
chicken farms or bird markets, then this could increase the prevalence of 
viruses. 
Lia Nugraha, a wildlife veterinary assistant working in the same program said 
the samples taken were still being studied at the Bogor Veterinarian Research 
Facility (Balitvet). 
She said samples from 22 bird species had been examined for two weeks now, 
adding that some of the species collected included sparrows, Bondol birds and 
the Kutilang birds. 
TNGHS birds contributed 100 fluid samples while dead wild birds from bird 
markets gave the researchers some 700 samples to work on. 
Meanwhile, head of the TNGHS, Bambang Supriyanto, said the park's inventory had 
been enriched by the research as no comprehensive study had been previously 
conducted on the birds in the Mount Salak area. 
He said the results would prove useful for the park's management in protecting 
birdlife. 
In a separate interview, Ujang, a bird trader working at the Empang bird market 
in Bogor, admitted that he had been taking wild birds from the Salak Mountain 
and selling them because it was easier since the Mount Salak area was much more 
accessible for hunting purposes than the Halimun Mountain or the Gede Pangrango 
Mountain. 
"I hunt for these birds from the Salak Mountain area, and sometimes I order 
some from bird catchers who work in the Halimun Mountain area," said Ujang, who 
has been a bird trader since 1980. "Most of the birds
