Tragically there was a huge number of caged wild birds hanging outside peoples homes throughout Sumatra and Java. We visited an bird & animal market in Malang where there were Shrikes, various Owls, White-eyes, Sunbirds, Asian Fairy Bluebirds and even a Banded Pitta. One of the market traders tried to sell me one of his young Macques for a pittance and another boasted about his Tockay Geckos.
