eagle
Perhaps, it is 'burung elang' instead of 'burung gilam'.
'burung elang' generally translated into 'eagle' in English, but it's species is numerous, e.g, 'Ictinaetus malayensis' (helang hitam/black eagle), elang botak (bold eagle) etc,.
Hope my guessing help.

- just a suggestion, based on a possible alternative spelling.
- another name for burung gelam in Malay is 'pucung bendang'.
heron => pucung
paddy/padi-field => bendang/sawah
