SUBIC BAY FREEPORT - Bird lovers and hobbyists have another reason to visit this Freeport with the opening here of the Magaul Bird Park, Jest Camp's newest tourism attraction, which offers the world's first half-a-thousand birds show.

"Wings of the World", produced by an all-Filipino team, unveils the majestic charm of birds found in forests around the world from Africa to South America, to China and the Philippines.

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Regulatory Group OIC Ruel John Kabigting, who was guest of honor during the park opening, lauded the newest addition to Central Luzon's best tourist destination, saying this will attract more tourists, especially bird lovers.

"Magaul Bird Park is not only a park to go to in Subic, but a place to enjoy and learn the importance of caring for our environment, especially our forests", Kabigting said.

He added that Wings of the World is an ambitious project. "This is the first in the world and no other theme park has ever done this before", Kabigting noted.

For her part, Katrina Lacap, general manager of Magaul Bird Park, affirmed that the Wings of the World show presents an ensemble of "our bird buddies" with the underlying theme of environmental protection.

"For the first time ever in the world, Wings of the World's grand finale will bring half a thousand birds on stage from all directions of the Alula Amphitheater here at the park", Lacap told the opening day visitors.

Lacap said the show will feature hundreds of pigeons that circle the audience on their seats, hundreds of guinea fowls that descend towards the stage, as well as majestic hornbills and macaws that fly over them.

She added that the show will make the audience look up in awe as the giant wings of white-bellied sea eagle cast a shadow over them. (30)
