BIRD ringing has always been an important method in the study of bird migration, helping to identify migratory routes and important habitats for birds. Bird study and bird-watching are very interesting features, for ecotourism and bird-site promotion. However, of the few natural history museums in Nigeria, that of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife is also doing well. Why is bird study so important for a degree-awarding institution, APLORI and other to be dedicated to its studies? The Leventis dynasty appears to be doing great humanitarian work in Nigeria and West Africa?
