Penang Bird Park wants you to help name its feathered friends
Ornithophiles aka bird lovers are going to soar high with this one. If you're one such enthusiast for birds, you will love the 'What's My Name' campaign by Penang Bird Park. The park in Seberang Jaya, Penang is turning 37 this year – on Aug 8, specifically – and it is celebrating by giving Malaysians the chance to name eight species currently residing in the park. 'These animals have so much personality, it's high time they are bestowed names that resonate with their biggest fans!' park founder Dr Gino Ooi says in a press statement. So, here's your chance to let all your 'pun-ny' bird name ideas take flight. You just have to join the contest that will run in two phases. Phase 1 (Aug 1-14) is the Naming Suggestion Phase, while Phase 2 (Aug 15-28) is the Public Voting Phase. You'll want to be fast – if multiple participants submit the same name, only the earliest entry (based on timestamp) will be eligible for the prize and naming credits. The park encourages participants to suggest name ideas based on the featured animals' photos and quirky personalities. While avians make up a large part of the list, there are a couple of primates and a reptile sprinkled in there too. There are marmosets waiting for you to name them too! Here are the animals to be named: a rhinoceros hornbill, a sulphur-crested cockatoo, an albino crow, a family of four baby emus, a Malay eagle-owl, a cassowary, twin baby marmosets and an estuarine crocodile. Submit your name suggestions here: Public voting during Phase 2 will be done via the park's Instagram (@penangbirdpark). The winners will be announced on Aug 31. If your suggested name wins, you'll receive two complimentary admission tickets and be credited on the animal's enclosure signage! Now that's good motivation for you to pay a visit to Penang Bird Park every now and again to check in on the animal you've helped name.
