"Melabeuca, Poke Glam, Boorong ra-ooah ra-ooah" is a collection of ornithological drawings from the early 19th century, attributed to an anonymous artist, and is part of a larger work titled "Drawings of Birds from Malacca." Created approximately between 1805 and 1818, these drawings are significant for their historical and artistic value, providing insight into the natural history and artistic practices of the period. The collection showcases the indigenous bird species of Malacca, a region in present-day Malaysia, which was an important trading port and a center of cultural exchange during the time of British colonial influence in Southeast Asia.

The drawings are characterized by their detailed representation of the birds' physical characteristics, capturing the diversity of avian life in Malacca with a focus on accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The use of local names such as "Melabeuca" and "Poke Glam" alongside the onomatopoeic "Boorong ra-ooah ra-ooah" reflects the artist's engagement with the local environment and culture. These works not only served as scientific documentation but also as a means of artistic expression, blending the observational rigor of natural history illustration with the stylistic elements of the era.

The anonymity of the artist adds an element of mystery to the collection, inviting speculation about the identity and background of the creator. Despite this, the "Drawings of Birds from Malacca" remain a valuable resource for understanding the region's biodiversity and the intersection of art and science in the colonial context. The collection is of particular interest to historians, ornithologists, and art enthusiasts who seek to explore the confluence of indigenous knowledge and European scientific inquiry during the early 19th century.
