Rocklands Bird Sanctuary
Beste tid å besøke
Early morning, between 7am and 9am, when the birds are most active and hungry. The morning feeding attracts the greatest number of species and the hummingbirds stay longer at each feeder.
Budsjettips
Entry costs about US$ 15 per person and already includes fruit for feeding the birds. Bring your own natural repellent to save money at the local shop.

Om
Raske fakta: Mais de 30 espécies de aves visitam este santuário diariamente, atraídas por bandejas de frutas frescas e néctar caseiro. Os visitantes podem alimentar pássaros diretamente das mãos, incluindo os vibrantes beija-flores de bico-largo que chegam a 50 quilômetros por hora.
Høydepunkter: As fêmeas do beija-flor-de-bico-largo constroem ninhos do tamanho de um dedal usando teias de aranha e líquens, e você pode observá-las chocando ovos do tamanho de grãos de café durante a primavera. Uma senhora local chamada Lisa alimenta os pássaros há 15 anos e conhece cada espécie pelo nome, chamando-os com assobios específicos que eles reconhecem.
Insidertips
- Wear bright colored clothes: hummingbirds are attracted to shades of red, orange and pink and will fly closer to you.
- Stay still with the palm of your hand open and flat for a few minutes: the most confident birds will land to feed.
- Avoid strong scented perfumes and lotions, as they scare away the birds and interfere with the experience.
- Schedule your visit for weekdays, when there are fewer tourists and the birds are more receptive.
