As we all know, in Indonesia, keeping turtledoves as pet has been an
cherisable hobby since kingdoms still spreading all over the nations
until the reformation era, since kings and queens ruled until the period
of togetherness.
A part from the mystical element often being connected with the art of
breeding these particular birds, turtledoves' voice is actually the biggest
factor for most people in every circle to be fascinated by these feathered
creatures.
We may remember how the late former president Soeharto was seen on
national television showing off his beloved turtledove, or the late Anton
Soejarwo, former police chief during the New Order era, who was
always enthusiastic
in joining bird contests in the 80s, and many more officials in highposition or former officials. Also the biggest names among
entrepreneurs such as the owner of Djarum Kudus, Gudang Garam and
many more. They were/are spotted sitting on the edge of the field
enjoying the competition of the mythical birds.
Talking about being rich from turtledove is common and also
interesting. In the 90s we had H. Basuni the former becak peddler who
suddenly got rich because of the bird. Susi Susanti, the legendary
champion, brought out about 3 trillion rupiah for H. Muhammad of Surabaya thanks to a turtledove. One of a good friend and partner was
able to buy a house for his family within one year by making turtledove
dealings. All the true stories as what happened to our administrator.
As Ir. Soekarno told us to hold your dream as high as the sky. Or if you
can't, then hold your turtledove as high as you can and start dreaming...
With hardwork, dreams can becomes reality. As what mas Wawan of
Bandung has been doing. He was a convicted criminal in Nusa
Kambangan island. The penitentiary gave him chances to learn things,
to develop his inner ability and he took those chances seriously. It is notonly a hobby that can distract me from boredom, but turtledove
breeding also brings gold, he said as he was asked why chose to become
a turtledove breeder, unlike others who take stone carving, handicrafts
etc as job profession.
Not an ordinary livestock

By looking at the 10 cages of broodstocks, one could see that mas
Wawan has implemented a good and right breeding strategy. He
collected males and females from blueblood lines. "That one is ring
ACC", he said pointing at male in cage 1. He smiles meaningfully. He
admitted that many broodstocks came from bigger breeders in
Indonesia, such as Palem, WAT, GM and many more. Not only this
proves that mas Wawan understand the good quality of turtledove's
voice but also a good and right way of breeding. "The bloodline is also
important", he added.
Congratulation, mas Wawan. All the best for the future of your
enterprise.
16 years for throwing an ashtray
When asked the reason of having been held in Nusa Kambangan, mas
Wawan answered softly,"fighting with a relative. I got emotional andthrew him an ashtray in the face".
May this occupation with turtledove positively fills his day.
Bravo to Indonesian turtledove lovers, and united in NKRI
