Jakarta Bird Market

Hope you had a great weekend!

I had the opportunity to visit the Jakarta Bird Market this weekend, and it was incredible and sad at the same time. I have been told that there are over a thousand species of birds being sold at the market...I had never seen so many birds in one place, and so many exotic birds! The sad part is that you can go to places in the market that sell rare illegal birds such as eagles, some parrots, and hawks...I didn't go to those places, but they are there...
