Walking Around Jakarta - PRAMUKA, the largest bird market in the world ? #thelargestbirdmarket #bird

The Pramuka bird market in Jakarta, Indonesia, is Southeast Asia’s largest bird and wildlife market. Jakarta’s Bird Market, locally known as Pramuka, has been in existence since 1975. It began as a small building with over 100 stalls selling birds. A few years later, a bigger building with four stories was built near the old one. The birds being sold here vary. Even if you visit the market daily, you will find a new animal on display that wasn’t there the day before. The Bird Market attracts many buyers – tourists and locals alike – because of the many colorful birds that are being sold. If you love birds, you will surely enjoy going through every stall and surveying different avian species. There is no harm in buying common birds or animals. However, if you do decide to get one, make sure you are familiar with it so that you do not buy a rare or endangered bird or animal by mistake. You must also be aware that some birds do not take well to captivity. As a result, they die a few days after being bought.
