Bird lovers, beware!<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
Bird lovers should be wary of being deceived when intending to
\nbuy a bird at the bird market on Jl. Pramuka, Jakarta. My advice
\nis that you buy birds at official kiosks, where you can be
\nassured that the sellers won't deceive you.<\/p>\n
Illegal sellers can be found at the market on Jl. Pramuka.
\nThey usually sit at the roadside and hawk a bird in a paper
\nbasket. They only let the would-be buyer see the bird inside the
\nbag for a few seconds.<\/p>\n
The sellers work in a team. Some of them pretend to buy the
\nbird and start bargaining, one fake buyer offers a higher price
\nthan the others. This is to assure you that the bird is really
\nworth the money offered. If you offer a higher price than the
\nother buyers the bird will be yours. The team members then agree
\nto meet at a certain place to divide their fortune among them.<\/p>\n
These people are professionals, and it is very difficult to
\nget rid of them. Unfortunately, I was once a victim of a
\nprofessional group of bird sellers. They sold me a bird for Rp
\n75,000, Rp 5,000 higher than the last bid of Rp 70,000 made by
\none member of the team. But later the bird seller informed me the
\nkind of bird I bought only cost Rp 5,000. So, bird lovers,
\nbeware of illegal merchants!<\/p>\n
