Bird watching or birding is not an easy hobby to love especially when you are used to the fast pacing of the city life. Birding could be considered as a start on how to work as a wildlife photographer. Both activities require a lot of patience, anticipation, calmness, and peace. 

Enjoying the Davao bird watching at the resort in Calinan Davao city starts with the values mentioned. If you appreciate the wonders of nature, Malagos Garden Resort would be the perfect spot. Enjoy more from nature with our bird watching activity available any time of the day! 

How To Prepare For Bird Watching?

We first have to understand that bird watching is not just about the right gear pack you have prepared. It is more on the attitude of waiting for the perfect moment that satisfies our own hearts longing for authentic natural scenery. Set your mind to forget about time and relax.

Have your best binoculars ready. Birds will be far away from the crowd of people especially when the crowd is noisy. Binoculars are the only essential item you’ll need along with food. There also are sanitized binoculars available for rent in the resort. Just make sure you call for a reservation for you not to run out of binoculars.

Listen to your resort field guide. We have trained birders in the resort and they will guide you around. There will be an orientation on how the tour will be, following the rules will be a factor to a fun birding session. Generally the rules are not to scare the birds off with loud noises, bright colored clothes, sudden movement, and many other things that could be threatening for the birds. 

Feel comfortable with everything you have. This is most applicable on the shoes we wear. Be prepared to walk on rocky, leafy, grassy, muddy, and wet places just to get to the perfect spot where most of the birds in the forest could be seen. Make sure you have comfortable clothes on and shoes that are comfortable and can protect your feet.

What To Expect?

Depending on what you will be bird watching there are different bird activities to see. At dawn when the sun is about to rise, birds wake up by then. This is the perfect time to go bird watching. Aside from grabbing a snack of Hot Chocolate and Ensaymada, bird watching could make you feel just as satisfied.

Early morning is the time to hunt for food. We have hidden high feeding areas where birds could grab a snack and be our focal point for observation. It would be fun viewing birds diving for the ground to grab their food or search for worms and peck on wood. After hunting their food it is also heartwarming to see a mother bird feeding her brood.
Lunch time or early afternoon is nap time. If birds eat their breakfast early as does it follow on their lunch time and then go for a rest. Morning is a very busy time for them. Young birds spend morning hours taking long baths and playing around. While adult birds spend most of their time hunting for food and sometimes twigs for their nest.

Late afternoon fun. You will notice at around 3pm-5pm there will be a lot of bird talk. The forest would be full of different tunes of chirping. The hard part is to get the right sunlight and spot the bird around. This is the time when birds talk to one another. With the right patience and luck, we could see how birds court one another to be their spouse.
