The Sound of the Murai Batu
It’s no secret that the sound is one of the main attractions for bird lovers. The Murai Batu’s call is loud, varied, and capable of impressive sequences—it can roll, shoot, and make sharp, distinctive sounds.
In fact, Murai Batu birds are known to imitate the sounds of other birds. They can even have more than one type of song or call. Owning one bird can feel like you have several, which makes them even more valuable.

The Body Structure of the Murai Batu
In addition to their beautiful sounds, the Murai Batu’s body structure is quite captivating. It may have a small frame, but its chest is proud and robust. When people see it up close, they are drawn to the bird. The bird's body language suggests confidence, strength, and readiness for a fight.
Its dominant black and golden-brown feathers make the Murai Batu even more appealing. Its sharp eyes and shiny feathers under the sunlight make it look majestic.
-
Murai Batu’s Long Tail
One of the unique features of the Murai Batu is its long tail. The tail can grow up to 40 cm or more. You can imagine that despite its small size, the bird is strong enough to lift and lower its long tail with ease. This showcases how powerful the Murai Batu is.
When its tail moves up and down, it almost looks like the bird is dancing. This is actually a mating display to attract females. Besides the impressive sound, the Murai Batu also needs to "dance" to impress the female and facilitate mating.
In Indonesia, there are Murai Batu birds with tails measuring 42 cm. The offspring from these birds are often pre-ordered even before they are born. Some of these birds have been priced as high as IDR 60 million.
-
Murai Batu's Fighting Style
Did you know that Murai Batu birds have three distinct fighting styles? They include the "ngobra" (a defensive stance), "dada gembung" (puffed chest), and "teler" (drunk or disoriented) styles.
- Murai Batu birds with the "ngobra" fighting style usually come from Sumatra (with long tails).
- Birds with the "dada gembung" fighting style are typically from Borneo (with short tails).
- Murai Batu birds with the "teler" style are usually the result of crossbreeding with Anis Merah birds.
-
Competition Champions
If a Murai Batu has won competitions, then its price skyrockets. If it continues winning at various events, the price will keep rising. Offers will start pouring in, but most owners won’t sell their birds until they have offspring to continue the lineage.
For example, a Murai Batu champion bird named "Ohara" was once offered for an astounding price of IDR 3 billion, plus a Rubicon car. So the total value of the transaction could reach up to IDR 4 billion.
This bird was owned by Om Prio Excellent, and the one making the offer was Om Tito Dream Sengon.
Conclusion
So, that’s why the price of a Murai Batu can sometimes reach the cost of a house. As mentioned, there have been offers for Murai Batu birds up to IDR 4 billion.
With that kind of money, you could buy a house, a car, land, and more, right?
However, people who are passionate about birds often don’t think about money. Once they fall in love with a bird, no price can sway them.
On the other hand, people who keep birds solely for profit will likely raise the price as soon as there’s an offer, and only sell when the price is right.
But there’s a common belief in the bird world that once an offer is made, the bird must be sold. The superstition is that if a bird is not sold after an offer has been made, something bad might happen to it.
