The birds in Sri-lanka look tame and obliging. The situation is not so for the birds of
the Philippines, at least for the birds around Subic Bay, but quite the opposite, I daresay.

Mike, the chairman of the only birdwatching society of the country, told me that wild birds
of his country have been caught or trapped for their cage-bird value or meat for years. Poverty
and ignorance, I believe, have a lot to do with it!
