During this tour you will have the chance to see typical birds living in Jamaica. At the Rockland Bird Sanctuary you will see bananaquits, hummingbirds including the black billed streamertail and the red-billed streamertail (also known as the Doctor Bird - national bird of Jamaica). If you wait long enough, a hummingbird may land on your finger and feed from a bottle containing an elixer that they love! Enjoy the sound of nature as you take in the beauty and fresh air that surrounds you while you respect the lcoal nature and birds. You will definitely enjoy this moment in the fabulous island of Jamaica.

This tour is for those who are interested in different species of birds. So why not book PARADISE PALMS JAMAICA TRANSPORTATION for a trip and visit Rocklands Bird Sanctuary which is located in the little town of Anchovy about 3 miles outside Montego Bay. At the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary you will find the Red-billed Streamertail and the Jamaican Mango birds which are so tame that they will come straight to a handheld bottle of sugar and water and some of them will even sit on your finger to feed from the bottles. What an amazing experience for the whole family. After you are taken to the sanctuary, you will be provided with a guided tour which allows you to walk through the woods where you will be able to see some other Jamaican and Caribbean species as well as some familiar North American warblers wintering in the Caribbean, such as Black-throated Blue Warbler, American Redstart and Northern Parula. The endemic and Caribbean species most likely to be seen are: Jamaican Woodpecker, White-chinned Thrush, Rufous-tailed Flycatcher, Jamaican Tody, Jamaican Euphonia, Jamaican Vireo, Jamaican Becard, Vervain Hummingbird, Loggerhead Kingbird and Sad Flycatcher. Sounds quite interesting.
