Bird Market Yogyakarta is a traditional market well-known among bird enthusiasts. On April 22, 2010, the Ngasem Bird Market, formerly located near the Kraton Yogyakarta, was relocated to Dongkelan, on the border between Yogyakarta city and Bantul Regency. The market, now named PASTY (Animal and Ornamental Plant Market), is easily accessible from the city and situated near the southern ring road. It features well-organized and comfortable facilities. In addition to a variety of animals, including birds and reptiles, visitors can also explore a plant market across the street. The Dongkelan market hosts regular animal competitions, including bird singing contests, and has fruit trees planted by the Yogyakarta city government.
The market is divided into zones: the southern zone for pigeons and the northern zone for reptiles. For those missing the atmosphere of the old Ngasem Market, Dongkelan’s market offers a similar ambiance with many vendors from Ngasem, satisfying the nostalgia of bird lovers
