With two brightly feathered macaws perched on his hands, their long tails brushing against him, Albi Albar Ramli balanced on his motorbike on a Saturday morning before heading off to an open field near his home.
Behind him, six more macaws waited inside wooden boxes strapped to the passenger seat, ready for their training. Ramli was on his way to join fellow macaw enthusiasts from the surrounding area, turning a vacant lot into a lively gathering place for both birds and their keepers.
