Origin/Birth
Pongo Bumba was born during the Creation, as the second creature. He took the physical form of a crested eagle, however does not appear to have created any creatures; all beings of his domain (birds) were created by the Heron, Nyanyi Bumba. It is unknown what happened to Pongo Bumba after this, as Bushongo mythology exists primarily to explain the creation of the universe, and not what happened to it afterwards. Thus, Pongo Bumba features in no myths after this.

Description
