An Introduction to Birding

Bird watching is the viewing of birds in their natural habitat in the wild, or in their improvised habitats in urban areas, possibly even in your own backyard. Bird watching involves identifying birds and understanding their behavior. This fascinating hobby is becoming increasingly popular as a pastime enjoyed by young and old alike. If you are in the City, to begin bird watching, it is important to know the best place in Davao to bird watch. A few minutes away from the city, Malagos Garden Resort will be offering a Malagos bird watching activity when we open our doors again. These days, more people are watching birds than ever.  Its popularity as a pastime has been growing rapidly over the past years. You may be wondering what makes it so interesting right? Here are some reasons why this is becoming a hit.

It’s a connection with nature. Human beings are not alone in the world. But in modern society, our contacts with our fellow creatures are artificially constrained. We need to be in some way connected to nature and other living creatures. Birds can be that connection for us, or they can be only the beginning of wider connections with the natural world. Where and when you’ll find them are simply by chance. From endemic, migratory, or resident birds, each one of them has a certain charm you’d look forward to seeing. 

It aids meditation. Watching birds leisurely fly about the area tends to quiet your mind like no other. The relaxation and calm you feel while watching the birds fly freely in the area can trigger self-examination. By reflecting on the bird’s unconsciousness, you can be mindful of your consciousness as well. In our fast-paced world, bird watching gives you that much-needed pause and simply feel the wind and listen to the birds.

It often leads down to other paths. Birds are some of the best ambassadors from the natural world. There are roughly 10,000 species spread across countless habitats on all seven continents. With their voices, plumage patterns, colors, and antics, birds invite us to learn about them and the ecosystems they inhabit.Watching birds, in many cases, often sparks other interests too. Notice that when you get to look at birds and observe how they act, you will develop a certain passion to help them strive. Planting trees that provide food, water, and shade to them is an essential act you won’t want to miss. 

It promotes habitat conservation. Being interested in birds keeps us on our toes when it comes to the preservation and conservation of where they live. By involving more people in this act, we are supporting each other in building a healthier habitat for everyone. 

Birding is an act of continuous learning and discovering. A new activity in the Malagos Garden Resort, join us as we rediscover the wonders of nature through this experience. We will be opening our doors soon and we cannot wait for you to take a look at our beautiful birds! Be one with nature and rediscover Malagos.
