• Little Tobago Bird Sanctuary

  This Bird Sanctuary was founded in 1926. The island was originally called the Bird of Paradise Island due to the fact that the owner at that time, Sir William Ingram brought in Bird of Paradise from Papa New Guinea in 1919. The island was later given to the people of Trinidad and Tobago on the condition that the island be used only as a bird sanctuary. The Bird of Paradise no longer exists on the island as Hurricane Flora wiped them out, although reports have them being seen up to the early eighty’s. This island now boast impressive seabird colonies such as Brown Boobies, Frigate Birds and Tropic Birds.
