KOTA KINABALU: A bird endemic to Borneo but thought to be extinct in Sabah is among the more than 600 fowl species set to attract birdwatchers during the 12th Asian Bird Fair (ABF) here this October.

Sabah Birdwatchers Association (SBA) president Ron Pudin said the endangered Bornean peacock-pheasant was thought to have vanished until it was seen again some seven years ago in central Sabah.
