The Hong Kong Bird Watching Society organized its inaugural bird call contest on Saturday, aiming to raise awareness about conservation efforts. Participants, who were enthusiastic about birds, dressed in costumes and performed imitations of various bird calls, including those of the Koel, Asian barred owlet, and Chestnut-winged cockatoo.
Bob Chan secured the top prize for his rendition of a Eurasian tree sparrow. The event highlights the diverse avian population in Hong Kong, where over 580 species have been documented. The contest raises questions about the role of such activities in promoting environmental awareness and the effectiveness of community engagement in conservation efforts.
