Below are comments by Alan Pang in a post to the Singapore Shama Club Forum in December 2011. At that time he had not yet become a super sifu (or so he sees himself in his own misguided mind) and he had not yet claimed that he had taught me all he knew about artificially incubating and raising shamas but I had still failed.
Falcon
Below are photos of Falcon that I took yesterday. His mating with Funkie's daughter had produced 3 fertile eggs that had hatched the day before. Both he and his mate are feeding the chicks. He was wary but not too disturbed when I entered the aviary to check the nest-box.

David,
Without your detailed blog most of us won't even has a chance to enjoy keeping healthy Shamas! As i said before i have tried keeping shamas long time ago but all of them is gone due to fits and it really puts me of shama till i come across your Blog.
Secondly, should you did not share the tricks of shama breeding i believe Shama trend and market will be very different. it trend od shama might even fade away! Now, not only shama is Hot ! Its has also become a well Known " Singapore Captive Bred Shama" internationally! We should Thank You for all the years of your effort in pushing the Limits of what a top shama can and should be.. Spending your precious time educating and instill high standard mindset on rookies like me; encourage Breeders to produce and uphold the Quality of Our Captive Bred Shamas!
And thanks for your 5star Venue for us to chai our birds and free flow of cold soft drinks ya! let me know if you wanna upgrade the rating to 6 star, i am thinking maybe some tibits, liqour, or steamboat buffet might do.. haha!
