Melech was a giant bird god that could transform into a man. Palauans used to call shooting stars Melech because of how in the story when his feathers caught on fire he flew out of the house up into the sky like a shooting star. They also believed that when they saw a shooting star that it was Melech looking for his next meal.

Hey, ya'll! I took a leap of faith and created a podcast where I am going to share with you stories from my childhood. They are stories and legends about my homeland Palau and are very near and dear to my heart. Most of them have very good morals and lessons behind them that impacted my life for the better and so I hope it does the same for you. I also wanted to do this for my daughter so she can learn about our cultures and traditions and the things that make us Palauans who we are.
