on its EDUCATIONAL VALUE and
A MOM AND CHILDREN’S DISAPPOINTMENT
When I first knew this bird fair will be held in Davao, my children were delighted with excitement, they even marked the Sept. 25th x with a caption ‘saving this date for bird fair’. Ang totoo, hindi lang yung mga anak ko excited, pati na rin ako, lol.
Since Saturday mornings are spent to mama chores, they patiently waited until past 12 to finally head to Insular, kumain muna kami mahal kaya food dun, hahaha.
There were buses and buses of excursionists coming from all over Davao, but when we get to the main event area, we all got disappointed, there were only 10 live birds and the rest were photos, banners and leaflets. The kids were disappointed, pati na rin ako. Sabi pa ng mga bata, so mom in the future there will be more of bird fairs minus the bird… I said maybe yes…
Actually the fair was primarily organized to raise awareness and conservation support from the stakeholders and that's us. There were hundreds of booth at the fair, mostly composed of Bird Clubs all over Asia, Cambodia, Burma, Hongkong, Taipei.. etc.

A good event to attend to but parang konti lang ang tao?
ReplyDeletethis should be an eye-opener to those who captured birds for sale, some of them are on extinct stage already, this is not only birds but for other animals as well.
ReplyDeleteAwww..sorry with what happened, but maybe because it's only on its 1st year, I'm sure the next event will be more organized and planned,Baka kinulang sa advertising at sa participants.

ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, vernz!
hehhehe... disappointed diay ang mag-ina...pero at least busog mo ni adto....hehehhee...salamat sa dalaw te...musta ang inyong weekend?
ReplyDeletethe aim of the fair and of advocacy for conservation is to keep the birds in the wild, sa natural habitat nila kaya the birds on display are those that have been rescued. the bird photographers "capture" birds through their camera lenses and not to keep them caged... join some bird watching tours to see more birds in the wild! =)
