KNOWLEDGE OF TITEN BIRDS IN JAVA TRADITION
For Javanese Priyayi, birds are one of the must-have sapta brata. Therefore, the Javanese people, especially the men, keep many birds or kukilo, especially the turtledoves.
There are many reasons why the Javanese people, especially the men, keep the turtledoves. Among the various considerations, namely mere prestige to admiring the noble teachings of the ancestors.
Javanese ancestors used to tell us that manuk (bird) consists of the elements of the word ma (manjing) and nya (soul) which means urip or life. The phrase is then translated as "aja may nongceh, nanging manggungo utawa yen say kudu sing mentes" meaning if you speak it must be filled.
