Not really aware of this festival but I think it is great. Having a gathering like this to celebrate a festival for seabirds was truly admirable. The city of Honolulu is obviously favorable on conserving and protecting migratory birds that happen to pass by in the area of Honolulu. As a part of the city's identity and history, Manu O Kū seabird considered as Honolulu's official bird. It is great to know that this city is having a festival for their official bird and also it gathers all the great artists of the country. In this festival, they can truly advocate and promote the protection of migratory birds in their country. I wish other countries are like this, even without the festival, just to preserve the number of birds and save them from the extinction.
