Highlights
  • Rocklands Bird Sanctuary ( Montego Bay) - This haven is populated by myriad birds native to Jamaica, as well as migratory species that journey vast distances to partake in the nourishment provided here. The Red-billed Streamertail and Jamaica Mango are so accustomed to human presence that they will eagerly approach a hand-held sugar water dispenser, with some even perching on one’s finger to sip.

Jamaica is home to four endemic hummingbird species, three of which are residents at Rocklands Sanctuary. The exception, the Black-billed Streamertail, is exclusively found in the island’s far eastern regions.

Entice the Black-faced Grassquit, Yellow-faced Grassquit, and Orangequit by offering seeds in your palm. Observe the Bananaquit and Greater Antillean Bullfinch as they flit about the feeders.

An open-air terrace is available for visitors to relax and watch various birds, including the Jamaican Oriole, as they frequent the feeders. The Common Ground-Dove and Caribbean Dove are also a common sight in the garden areas, foraging for seeds that are scattered throughout the sanctuary.

A trip to Rockland Bird Sanctuary - We were met at the dock by Bailey who was a great driver and had a very comfortable vehicle. The trip to rockland was very interesting and Bailey made it more enjoyable. The experience at the bird sanctuary was most enjoyable and a unique experience. The trip back was good and Bailey again took us to an outstanding shop so we could get some good souvenirs of Jamacia. It was truely the best part of the cruise.

Delightful in every way! - I loved spending time on the cool mountaintop where all the pretty birdies are happy and well looked after a kind and gentle man named Fritz. He even put some feed on my leg so that the little finches would land on me and catch a snack. But the hummingbirds are phenomenal. They even make a whirring noise when they fly so you'll know when they are nearby. Birds naturally fly away from you. That's why it is so incredible that these wonderful little creatures actually fly to you, land on your out-stretched finger and feed from the little bottles of sugar water. The view of Montego Bay is lovely and picture-worthy. What a wonderful, de-stressing activity and a something you'll never forget. And watch for the friendly little chameleon. It likes a little sweet water as it changes it's colors.
