Dr Birdy (Hibiscus Valley)

Dr Birdy is the on-island birding guide operating out of the Hibiscus Valley Inn at Marigot, in the northeast of Dominica. Tours focus on the rainforests where the country's two endemic parrots - the critically endangered Imperial Amazon (Sisserou) and the Red-necked Amazon (Jaco) - share the canopy with four hummingbird species and a strong cast of West Indian endemics. The guided experience is sold as a half-day forest outing with lunch included, pitched at travellers staying on the island for a wider nature itinerary rather than dedicated listers, and arranged through the inn's reservations team.
