The traditional chief of Mului Jidan (60) pulls a rattan rope to repel birds and other pests that attack the rice fields in his field, Dusun Mului, Paser Regency, East Kalimantan, on Saturday (13/3/2021) morning.

The sun had not yet come up when Jidan (60) started walking toward his farm, about 1.5 kilometers away.

He did not want the sparrows to come and eat the paddy grains in the less-than-a-hectare field.
