This seems weakly sourced and of very local interest, I doubt that it meets the notability criteria Jimfbleak (talk) 05:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Generally, I would think any myth or legend, which has been around for hundreds of years, should be notable. I'm assuming the article is honest.Thoughtmonkey (talk) 05:32, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Though it may be that Indonesian folklore gets little international media coverage, we should not stop it from being documented. Aust331 (talk) 08:01, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Considering the colonial history of Indonesia, I figured there might be version in an old Dutch story book. Except for some minor differences, I could indeed find an identical story, titled "De list van de Parkietenkoning" (The ruse of the parakeet king). That edition is sourced to Volksverhalen uit kleurrijk Nederland. Dieren. Dierenverhalen uit de Chinese, Joodse, Nederlandse, Indiase, Turkse, Surinaamse, Marokkaanse en Indonesische verteltraditie; Rotterdam: Uitgeverij Lemniscaat (1990).
