Birds International Inc. 21-22 July 2008
 

Mr Antonio M. De Dios owner of BII and also my guide of the day in BII.


I am very honoured to be invited to Birds International Inc. in The Phillippines for a very exclusive tour on the 21-22 July. The trip will be very interesting and exciting as BII is a world famous research and breeding center for endangered species of exotic birds. I will be taking lots of valuable pictures and do tune in for them...

;) :D

I had been to several farms around the region and none as impressive as BII. The owner Mr Antonio M. De Dios had spent 40 over years breeding parrots and I can say he is more to a hobbyist rather than a commerical operator. He shared to me the success of breeding parrots, health and their diet. He personally guide us and explained to us the various sections of the farm. Never before I have seen so many captive bred macaws and amazons. The facilities in the farm are very advanced and even the food for the birds are human grade. I met up with their team of Vets and truly impressed by their knowledge and passion in keeping the birds in the best condition and environment.

A picture tells a thousand words...
Double Yellows and Yellow Napes.

Macaws..
And BII is top the list in breeding the Hyacinth among all the farms in the world. I was very impressed to see almost 100 chicks during this trip.

More macaws...

A big thank you to Mr Chua Kah Soon of Goodwill Birds Trading for inviting me for this very exclusive trip and last but not least Mr Antonio M. De Dios for spending so much of his precious time with us and sharing valuable tips on parrot keeping.
