The Philippine Eagle Center not only caters the Philippine Monkey Eagles but also the monkeys as well. We have more fun watching those monkeys because unlike eagles who always stay regal on their own thrones, monkeys are always playful, witty and lively to look at.
Their sanctuary is like an island. This little haven has been surrounded by running water. As what we have learn from a famous folklore, monkeys cannot swim and will never venture on water. This confine should have been inspired by that idea and I admire the wisdom behind this set-up.
It seems that feeding is done using the running water around the enclosure. Monkeys are wise enough to finds ways of retrieving these food particles from the water. Watching them like this is simply fascinating.
We will just hope that the eagles inside the aviaries will not be able to escape and find these monkeys as an easy prey. I am sure that those eagles can smell and fell their presence from wherever they are.
