BIRDS INTERNATIONAL, INC
MANILA, PHILIPPINES
Birds International, Inc. ( BII ) is engaged in the conservation and propagation of the world’s rarest species and exotic ( non-Philippine) parrot species. it operates its activities on a Six-hectare farm in Fairview, Quezon City, Philippines.
While most breeding and conservation efforts done are government-initiated and sponsored, BII was founded privately by Antonio M. De Dios. What started as a pure hobby way back in the early 1960’s became a well organized, systematic and highly technical operation to breed and sustain species conservation, which ultimately culminated in the establishment of BII. Upon its establishment in the early 1970’s, BII’s principal aim was to undertake biological and conservation studies for future breeding efforts. Also, a continuous exchange of information was established with other international aviculturists.
A WORLD-CLASS BREEDING CENTER
BII is located in Quezon City, Philippines. Its location is strategic. The Philippines offers a tropical climate that is conducive to the breeding and propagation of these rare exotic parrots.
The Six-hectare integrated research and breeding center is staffed by highly motivated college graduates who care for a vast array of exotic parrots from around the world. BII now houses a total of 8,000 parrots, including 2,500 pairs of various parrot species.
