Yogyakarta is really a magical place, regular pets are not common here, everywhere are owls, bats, lizards, snakes, moles, monkeys, people eye-opening. It's just that these small animals are pitiful, and the living conditions are not very good. They are all crowded and wiped in the cage. I went to ask a more "normal" cat shop. The golden-haired pet cats only cost 800,000 Indonesian rupiah, only 400 yuan. It's a pity that I can't bring them back. Here you can also take a photo with the big python, meaning give 10,000 Indonesian rupiah.

Because I visited in the afternoon, when I went there, it felt like I was scattered, only a few cages of birds and bird shit on the ground. I feel that this is a newly built bird market. Although there are no birds, it is quite interesting to listen to the simple bird chirping in the hot pavilion.
The animals sold in the market are strange, in addition to all kinds of birds, bats, white free, pythons, squirrels, cats, scorpions, owls and so on. There are many cockfighting in the bird market. Indonesia's cockfighting is a special scenic spot. From Bali to Java to Sumatra, the whole Indonesia likes cockfighting and watching cockfighting. This form of entertainment has been in the past thousands of years.
For those who like non-modern market snacks or those who are nostalgic, want to find and try jenang blendung, ice pleret that cannot be found in other traditional markets, there's nothing wrong with going to Ngasem Magelang Market, a small market located on the edge of the Manggis River. the sellers are mostly grandmothers but keep the spirit.
I haven't been to Pasar Ngasem Yogyakarta in several years, although sometimes I pass by. The Ngasem market has now changed its face. In the past, Ngasem market was the center of the famous bird market in Yogyakarta. Various types of birds and pets are marketed in this market. This market is also busy because it is the gateway to the Tamansari Water Palace from the north. Due to urban planning, in 2010 this market was moved to a new location called the Yogyakarta Animal and Ornamental Plants Market (PASTY). The PASTY location is actually quite far from the Ngasem Market location.
There are many beautiful birds here, and the barking is very beautiful
Javanese society cannot be separated from traditions and beliefs.[2] According to Javanese cultural roots, a man is considered successful if he has 5 main things, namely Wisma (house), wife (woman), turangga (horse), suspicious (kris), and pet bird (kukila).[2] Kukila is the reason for a Javanese man to keep birds so that the bird market becomes a place that is very much needed by the Javanese people.[2]
