Petulu: village of white herons
The White Herons of Petulu, Bali: Returning Souls
Go and see it for yourself, the white herons of Petulu. Every day they flock to these trees. And the local people, out of a sense of regret, and a sense of confusion, have used these white herons in a strongly-believed folktale - about the darker history of paradise. Perhaps it offers them some sort of therapy?

BALI: KOKOKAN -white heron - OF PETULU by Hans & Fifi
We are Hans & Fifi - see also our weblog
- and in the year 2003 we visited the very small village of Petulu, very near Ubud, to see the famous heron birds (the so called kokokan) arrive from their daily trip all over the island. Every sunset the same. Coming together like a gathering. And in the morning they go again. They do this since 1965. Why the scientists don't know. But the villagers beleive they host the souls of killed people of the village, which happened in the same year. Protected of course but they are considered holy already before that.
A remarkable event anyway. Every end of the day.

The White Herons of Bali
--- Myth or Mystical Fact? There seems to be as many stories about these birds in Bali as there are the birds: they are the ancestors of deceased relatives; they came in answer to prayers for peace; they are the shepherds of dreams yet to come. Whatever the reality is behind these birds coming to nest in this one area of Bali, just outside of Ubud, they're beautiful and so is the landscape. A little fresh coconut water and some good friends. Fine way to spend the later afternoon. If you're looking for things to do around Ubud, ask about going to see the White Herons. Great way to spend a sunset in Ubud. Music: Tokyo Delay by Hiiragi Fukuda at freemusicarchive.org --- watch more of my videos and read my books ---
