February Bird of the Month
A pair of Spotted Buttonquails, one male and one female, locally called Púgong-Gúbat. Out on the fields, you will easily spot these low-flying ground dwellers flying off when they hear you walking up to where they are. This pair was injured so we nursed them back to health before releasing them back in the open field.
I bet if it wasn't you who found these two injured birds, they would have ended up as 'pulutan' or toy/pet for their children. It's good to know there are still a few who cares.

ReplyDeleteThere's a growing consciousness even from the grassroots level, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
