Bird sanctuary in Trinidad and Tobago

In Trinidad bird sanctuaries can be found in places such as San Fernando and Caroni. It also has a bird sanctuary in Little Tobago. Little Tobago is also called Bird of Paradise Islands , this means is has a variety of birds that are lovely and intriguing to the eye. A bird sanctuary is simply a building where birds are kept. It attracts eco tourists interested in the natural environment. Caroni bird sanctuary as a great review. This large swamp with mazelike waterways is bordered by mangrove trees, some plumed with huge termite nests. If you're lucky, you may see lazy caimans idling in the water and large snakes hanging from branches on the banks, taking in the sun. In the middle of the sanctuary are several islets that are home to Trinidad's national bird, the scarlet ibis. Just before sunset the ibis arrive by the thousands, their richly coloured feathers brilliant in the gathering dusk, and as more flocks alight, they turn the mangrove foliage a brilliant scarlet. Bring a sweater and insect repellent. The sanctuary's only official tour operator is Winston Nanan.
