The Charm of Ciblek Birds: Indonesia’s Rising Star in Bird Competitions

KORAN GALA – The ciblek bird, also called the fan bird, cininin, or pacikrak, is attractive because of its sweet voice. The voice of the ciblek bird is pleasant to hear, especially if it sings at a high speed and for a long time.

Currently there are more and more fans of ciblek birds. It is not surprising that this bird is starting to win a lot of competitions because of its beautiful sound.

Ciblek birds can be found throughout Indonesia, especially in West Java, East Java and Bali. The ciblek bird is a bird that eats corn that lives in the fields.

In Indonesia, two types of ciblek are widely kept, namely Prinia familiaris familiaris and Prinia familiaris olivaces. When they are young, these two types are very difficult to distinguish because they have the same physical characteristics. As adults, the differences begin to become apparent.

Prinia familiaris olivaces has light or lighter colored feathers with a short, thin white stripe on the wings. Slim body with slim chest. The male bird data book is colored black.

The vibration of Prinia familiaris olivaces accentuates long tusks in the form of chikcak-cikcak-cet-cet calls. The chirping sound is thin and not clear, so this type of ciblek is rarely questioned. However, the sound is good for mastering other birds, such as the rock-cuckoo, hwa mei, poksay, or canary.

Birds that sing diligently cannot be the only measure for ciblek to be candidates for contests or bird competitions. The ciblek chirping sound is a measure for competitions if the volume of the sound is large, loud, fast, sharp and thick.

The characteristic of the ciblek bird is that its beak is very long, not too thick. A short and thin beak indicates that the bird does not sing regularly, that its voice floats, and that its voice is low or poor.

Ciblek is a type of bird that does not require complex care. If you want to maintain it, there are only three things you need to pay attention to, these are:

– Pay attention to the process of washing the bird

– Take care when cleaning the cage.
