Birds

The day before yesterday we went to the bird market. This market is a purpose-built Chinese-style garden, full of market stalls selling all kinds of birds and elaborate birdcages. Not sure how legal all the species are, there were one or two toucans tucked away. There were countless mynah birds, finches, parrots, canaries, bee-eaters, budgies, canaries and even a humming bird. Old men walk around the market carrying their favourite bird, just to give it some air and show it off. A good but noisy place to visit!
