The “WHISTLE LIKE A BIRD” Competition is an annual event organised by the Dominica Forestry, Wildlife and Parks Division as part of the Caribbean Endemic Birds Festival (CEBF). The Caribbean Endemic Birds Festival (CEBF) is an initiative of the Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds (SCSCB). The Festival normally runs from Earth Day (April 22) to World Biodiversity Day (May 22) each year.
At the regional level the month-long Bird Festival started in 2002, but Dominica first participated in 2004. The 2010 CEBF is the seventh consecutive year in which Dominica, and the Forestry, Wildlife and Parks Division are participating. “WHISTLE LIKE A BIRD” is one of the many activities implemented for the observance of the 2010 Festival in Dominica. Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean is blessed with many beautiful songbirds in our forests, and in our communities there are several talented persons who can imitate some of our birds. Hence the commencement of this Bird Call Competition in 2009, as part of the Caribbean Endemic Birds Festival.
