00:00There is a belief that the Uwaks bring bad luck

00:21But no, Arke Erben

00:25Because one of his Uwaks became his best friend

00:30The story of Arke Erben

00:43Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Noy

00:50Every morning, the Uwak brings bad luck

00:56To call Arke Erben

01:01Because it's time for his breakfast

01:07When he opens his cage, he doesn't fly away, he just lies on his hands

01:14And their good morning to each other

01:16Wahaw, Wahaw, Wahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Noy, Wahaw, Wahaw

01:27But when the Uwak says Mahaw

01:32Mahaw is a word that means breakfast

01:37Mahaw, Noy, Wahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw

01:46But the Uwak can't drink water because his dog, Hana, gets confused

01:56In 2009, Arke Erben brought the Uwak to a fallen tree after a typhoon

02:02Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Mahaw, Noy, Wahaw

02:06Since then, they never separated

02:09Down there, the fallen tree, I think it was a low pressure

02:16The tree was landslide on the side of the bank

02:19Maybe it was with them

02:21Then someone climbed on top of it, there were four of them

02:24We saw the fallen tree, so we went there

02:27Then the two, we looked for them, we saw the two that fell on the rock

02:33They're still alive?

02:34They're dead, when they fell

02:36They have feathers, right?

02:37No, their eyes are still closed

02:41Since Arke Erben lives far away from home

02:45Everyday, Wahaw visits Arke Erben to take a bath

02:57Arke Erben is Wahaw's stepfather

03:00This is called imprinting, or having a strong dependent bond

03:04to a person or animal that they will see for the first time when giving birth

03:12Since Arke Erben and Wahaw met, they never separated

03:19He's really used to people

03:21The Uwaks are one of the smartest birds

03:24They're very inquisitive, they're aware of their surroundings

03:29Wahaw has learned a lot of words

03:32Mahaw, mahaw, noy, noy

03:40The first word is nanay, nanay and tatay

03:44That's why now, nay and tay became noy

03:49He calls all of us noy

03:51When he's hungry, noy, mahaw, mahaw

03:55According to Erben, he didn't teach Wahaw how to speak

03:59Wahaw, mahaw, mahaw

04:02When birds speak, they're not really talking

04:05It's like a reflex reaction

04:07Mahaw, mahaw, mahaw

04:09Wahaw, wahaw

04:12They just repeat what you said

04:15The sound, the vibrations, they try to imitate it

04:18as a response to your reaction

04:21Mahaw, mahaw, noy, noy

04:24He's already 15 years old

04:26He still doesn't have arthritis

04:30because birds can also experience those things

04:33You didn't try to make him go missing?

04:36Yes, we made him go missing

04:37There were two of them before

04:39But one of them was bitten by a chicken

04:41It was killed

04:42because the chicken thought it would take its prey

04:45In the wild, Uwaks can live up to 8 years

04:50Maybe it's because it's in a semi-confined environment

04:56Because food, there's no scarcity, it's always available

05:00It's not exposed to the elements really

05:03And it has no problem finding food

05:06Uwak also has a peculiarity

05:09Because he only suddenly meets his cats and dogs

05:21Especially when it comes to food

05:25Look at its beak, the macros

05:28These are scavengers, they have a really robust beak

05:31Because it's really for hunting, for looking for food

05:34They can wear their beak to the holes in the trees

05:37to look for grubs

05:40But sometimes, it's also stingy

05:51Behave! Behave!

05:53You're really stingy

05:56Because it's free to roam around Erwin's house

06:00Uwak is being chased by other Uwaks

06:03It's fighting, they're fighting

06:06If one of them comes to help, it'll go home

06:12But if it's just one, one on one, it'll fight

06:15That's what happens when we take care of wildlife

06:20First, because we're already changing their habits

06:23Their reaction to the environment, their natural instincts

06:28We are already altering

06:31So they don't know where to go

06:34How to escape enemies

06:36How to interact with other birds of the same species

06:41So all of that we're altering

06:43And it will be very difficult for this bird to be released back into the wild

06:47Uwak!

06:48Behave! Behave!

06:51Because Uwak's banding went viral on social media

06:54Erwin went to the DNRC

06:56To examine the condition of the Uwak

07:00We're in charge of the enforcement

07:04And we're in charge of the wildlife

07:08So during that time, when they go

07:10Even if it's just free, just to fly outside

07:14It'll come back

07:15There's no violation there

07:16It's just a violation

07:18If they keep it, cage it

07:21It won't come out

07:22It's like the bird has no freedom

07:24But if we find out that it's being caged

07:26That's where we'll go

07:28Because there's a violation there

07:30Keeping the animals without proper documents

07:34Because it should be registered

07:35That is called Certificate of Wildlife Registration

07:39According to the Central Kabankalan

07:41They are now fixing the permit for Erwin and Uwak

07:45Based on their assessment

07:46Uwak is not being imprisoned

07:48That's why they won't take it

07:51I noticed that you have a cage there

07:53What's the cage for?

07:54It's also for him

07:56Because maybe at night

07:58Sometimes there are snakes here

08:02That eat chicken

08:04Uwak

08:06Wherever Erwin goes

08:08He's always with Uwak

08:10Of course

08:11Hanna will always be a part of Uwak's bonding

08:19In these falls

08:21Erwin, Waka and Hanna usually go there

08:26This is their favorite bonding spot

08:30You can see Waka taking a bath here

08:41Don't touch it

08:43Don't touch it

08:49After taking a bath

08:50Uwak's head got cold

08:52That's why we greeted him

08:58Just a reminder

08:59This bonding between Erwin and Uwak

09:04It's unusual

09:06When he grew up

09:07Even when he's not here in the forest

09:09He still comes back to him

09:10If it's true

09:11Uwak can leave anytime

09:14But he chose to be with them

09:17With other animals

09:18And with Erwin
