WHERE THEY BELONG

Taking photographs of Birds is a great way to get to know them without disturbing them.

When asked how seeing and hearing them in the wild makes Rawolle feel, he has this to say: “Bilang isang vegan, nais ko din ipaalam sa iba na hindi nila kinakailangan pang ikulong ang mga Ibon na ito sa hawla para lamang mapagmasdan at mapakinggan. Napakasarap pagmasdan ng mga Ibon sa natural nilang pamumuhay at hindi [stressed], at ang pagbili sa kanila ay pagtangkilik lamang sa mga tao upang ang mga Ibon ay hulihin at pagkakitaan. (As a vegan, I want others to know that caging Birds are not the only way to experience and hear them. It’s an amazing feeling to meet them in their natural habitat. Buying caged Birds will only encourage others to catch and earn from the trade.)”
