GIVE 'EM THE BIRD
A good friend of mine, Mike Lu of the WBCP is one of the handlers of this event. Go with him to look at birds, will you?
The Wild Bird Club of the Philippines (WBCP) is sponsoring the 1st Philippine Bird Festival, a one-day event to raise conservation awareness through the promotion of bird watching and the responsible appreciation of nature. The Bird Festival, the first of its kind in the country, will be held on November 18 at the Crossroad 77 Covenarium in Quezon City. To coincide with bird walks in favorite birdwatching sites in Metro Manila, the Philippine Bird Festival also features an exhibit of bird photos and paintings, lectures, nature videos, merchandise and an arts activity center for children. 580 species can be found in the Philippines, of which 176 species are unique to the archipelago. The alarming rate of forest, parkland and wetland destruction poses a serious threat to the diversity of wildlife in this country, which groups like the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines hopes to arrest by promoting a love for the outdoors, conservation awareness and nature-friendly development planning.
The Wild Bird Club of the Philippines invites interested organizations and individuals as co-sponsors of this event. For more information text or call 0917-3350325 or email myckle@thenet.ph.

Despite the threat of birdy-flu I hope this goes through for the sake of tourism in our beloved Philippines and I guess for the birds too because I think they like being watch!
I know Mike Lu, I used to bring students and go birdwatching with him,. He made me appreciate manila more. He's a great guy> I really admire you as well. Wanted to bring my two sons in one of your tours but we ran out of time before we left for Canada. But will do one of these when we're in town. Keep up the good work! Keep on walking so to speak.
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in! Do hope to see you and your sons when you visit manila again. Have a happy holiday too. Cheers!
