For the birdwatcher’s, spotting endemic birds here is one of the main highlights and among the endemic birds that birders seek here, the rare Bornean Bristlehead is the prized bird to spot.
This beautiful bird can be seen here at the RDC Canopy Walk or its surroundings, and sometimes found around the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center area.

The birding event does not mean hardcore birdwatching activity here. This event provides a positive impact towards introducing nature and eco-related activities, especially towards the children of today.
Getting outdoors and learning about the rainforest, birds and the ecosystem is a good start for the children.
