IBONG ADARNA SPOTTED IN MT. APO
LOOK: The famous 'Ibong Adarna' from a Philippine myth was sighted in the tropical forest of Mount Apo.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Davao shared photos of the real-life Ibong Adarna on their Facebook page.
“This bird in astonishing hues is the Philippine Trogon (Harpactes ardens), one of the radiant birds that we can possibly lay our eyes on,” the department wrote in their post.
They further explained that male Philippine Trogon displays bright colors, while females possess subdued shades of mustard-yellow underparts and an olive-brown head.
"They feed on insects and fruits and shelters on tree hollows. Being reluctant to people, they found bliss in the darker portions of our forests," the department said.
