Held at the Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) in Sepilok Sandakan, Sabah, the event will offer lovers of birds a chance to take in guided birding tours, lectures and workshops on the animals, as well as other activities.

Over the course of the festival, which runs from October 14th to 16th this year, attendees will be able to take part in a photography contest and see the inaugural Borneo Bird Race, while special activities will also be offered for children.
