WHY BIRDS AT THE ESTATE

Visiting beautiful Lombok, you will see many bird-cages hanging in people’s houses in Lombok villages. For decades, Indonesians have kept birds, which have come to signify status and peace of mind. A third of households in Indonesia are thought to keep birds as pets, according to a study by Oxford University researchers.

Songbird contests, a phenomenon known as Kicau-mania / Chirping Mania, are also hugely popular in Indonesia. Weekly kicauan contests offer winners the chance to take home up to several thousand dollars. Through transmigration programs many Javanese people have spread across Indonesia, and they introduced bird keeping to local people. One type of bird that is favored by many chirping mania is the Burung Kacamata (Oriental White Eye Bird)

Did you know that The Estate Lobby is home to three beautiful ‘Burung Kacamata’ or beautiful Oriental White Eye Birds?

Allow us to introduce you at  – ‘Sam, Stievie & Sem’

The Estate lobby is now fully operational and trust us, it’s so much joy when the little, tiny birds sing big, sweet songs!

BIRD CHARACTERISTICS

The Oriental white-eye is a small perching bird in the white-eye bird family. They are easily identified by the distinctive white eye-ring and overall yellowish upperparts.

This bird is 9 cm long with yellowish olive upper parts and a white eye ring.

CHEERING YOU UP
Unless you’ve kept pet birds before, it’s difficult to imagine just how much both ‘Burung Kacamata’s can bring to you during your stay at The Private Villa Estate, by The Lombok Lodge.
These intelligent and beautiful holiday companion birds will reward you in so many wonderful ways. Let’s take a look at just a few of the ways that having birds can benefit your holiday.

It is truly is a lovely feeling to hear your birds greet you when you come ‘home’ after a beach day at ‘Bagno Di Gili’ or when you get up in the morning. Talking to and playing with your villa birds is a great way to help lower your stress levels and your blood pressure. It’s the same with any pet, but you have the added benefit with birds of being able to just sit there and enjoy their beautiful singing.

Come and experience the feeling yourself. ‘…Stay Where the World Can’t Find You…’ #ThePrivateVillaEstate #ByTheLombokLodge #LombokAtItsPurest #TheLombokLodgeHospitality
