Burung Petala Processions

Okay, so there is something called "burung petala processions". "Burung" means bird and "petala" means flower in a language called Malay. In some places, people celebrate special occasions by carrying a decoration that looks like a bird with flowers.

Imagine a big, colorful bird made out of flowers that people can hold up and carry around. They usually walk in a line together with this bird and sometimes they even dance to music while carrying it. It's like a parade of flower birds!

The purpose of doing this is to show joy and happiness for something special happening in their community. It's like saying, "Yay! We are so happy and proud and we want everyone to know it!"

So that's what burung petala processions are all about - a colorful and fun way to celebrate special events and show joy with a bird made of flowers!
