MIKE LU - "Having held the ABF in 13 host cities in different Asian countries, I believe we have raised awareness of birdwatching as a potent ecotourism activity/product as well as awareness to the role of birds in the environment.

Being held in a different city/country each year, has its challenges hence we keep our targets reasonable and that is to focus on birdwatching as an ecotourism activity and the role of birds in environmental education.

Looking further, the Asian Bird Fair is also a founding member of the World Birdfairs Council along with the South America Bird Fair, the African Birding Expo (Uganda) and the Feria Internacional de Turismo Ornithologico (Spain).

We are planning to hold the 1st World Bird Fair in Taiwan next year."

My first time going here to the Asian bird Fair. Didn't think their community would be this wide and big. I have long been obsessed with animals in the wild. Even when I was a child, my parents also trained me to see animals and take care of them. I remembered when I was a child a type of bird my father gave me as a gift, my first pet bird and my mother called and gave it the name "PIKOY."

Blue-Naped Parrot

(Tanygnathus Lucionensis)

It is a parrot or blue-naped parrot

(Tanygnathus lucionensis) found only in the Visayas region of the Philippines. This is one of my memories when it comes to birds. Since then, I have been fond of petting pigeons, love birds, and myna birds, and I also never missed watching Paulie's movie, a parrot.

In my experiences at the fair, it has a broad responsibility to teach young people the importance of birds in the wild. guest speakers who taught lectures about birding.

and for bird watchers, the hotspots in the Philippines that are infested with foreign birds can be found in the area. This gathering is important because we see the importance of them as well as the protected wetlands.

It is important to protect and preserve them for our ecosystem to be balanced. it is also another to see the data of their number in the wild.

In that event, many neighboring countries participated in

the massive 13th Asian Bird Fair.

We saw many strange birds that each country has its own birds that are proud of.

Travel tours related to ecotourism that will provide employment and protect natural heritage.

Bird Watching Essentials (Equipment)

It is still about birds and there are also many products for sale especially for bird watching enthusiasts.

and some souvenirs such as stickers, t-shirts, patches, key chains, nature hiking shoes. binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, birds playing cards, bags, and accessories that are interesting to collect.

The first bird fair in the world was the Asian Bird Fair (ABF), which was held in Davao City, Philippines in 2010.

The ABF is an annual event that highlights bird fairs in Asia, and promotes bird conservation and ecotourism. The ABF is hosted in a different Asian city each year, with the founding organizations taking turns hosting.

HELLO fellow bulbuls and fellow birdies, we have something new to look forward to on my Camp Attack channel, 

"THE BIRD WATCHER"

Camping can enhance your bird watching experience by allowing you to hear and see birds in their natural environment, from sunset to sunrise.

Whenever I go camping, I always bring my binoculars & bird call whistle for bird watching. it is more entertaining and fun to watch and see different types of birds in the wild and listen to their different sounds of their chirps. and this is also one of my documenting of their importance in nature. -Alright! see you in my next adventure.
