Rare bird found in Philippines then eaten

[Negus]

A species of bird so rare it was thought perhaps to be extinct was captured on video and still images in the Phillipines province of Nueva Vizcaya… right before it was cooked and eaten.

Ang tawag namin yan sa mga Ilocano ay PUGO. Noong early 60's ay marami pa hanggang nagamatay na siguro dahil sa DDT na gamit sa mga bukid noon.


One wild live buttonquail was inadvertently filmed in a mountainous area during the making of a documentary on the traditional methods of bird-trapping in northern Luzon. But neither the local crew nor the bird-trappers at the time of the filming understood how rare the bird was, so it was sold at a poultry market, then cooked and eaten.

Anong klasing wildlife production naman ito? Nagdodocumentary sila sa mga wildlife pagkatapos wala pala silang alam. 10 pesos for rare bird!

The more reason why the government should declare their natural habitat as national forest/park reserves or something.....

Looks like just an ordinary "PUGO", eh marami pang itlog ng pugo ah. It is just difficult to differentiate this wildlife from an ordinary one.

Iba pinuprotektahan ng gobyerno natin. Sina Bolante, FG, Nani Perez, Garci, etc.
Pero yung mga ganyan, wala silang panahon.
