Rocklands Bird Sanctuary
An extremely popular Montego Bay tourist attraction - and an
absolute must for bird-lovers - the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary offers
visitors the chance to get up close and personal with the island of
Jamaica's wide variety of colourful birdlife. Founded in 1954 by
Lisa Salmon (affectionately known to locals as 'the bird lady'),
these days the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary is managed by the
knowledgeable and charming Fritz, a man who (by all accounts) is
blessed with an almost St Francis-like gift for beckoning birds
down from the surrounding boughs. The highlight of the trip is the
opportunity to hand-feed hummingbirds - including the Doctor Bird,
Jamaica's national bird - while relaxing in the shade on the
Sanctuary's patio.
