What do the Jamaican flag colours mean?
Bird watchers look out for the huge Barn Owls as they wake to their nocturnal hunt for food for their fluffy chicks. Parakeets, yellow birds and the national bird, the Humming Bird are also residents of the neighbourhood. The best time to look out for birds is early morning or late afternoon. The Doctor Bird or Swallowtail Hummingbird (Trochilus ploytmus)lives only in Jamaica and is one of the most outstanding of the 320 species of Humming Birds. It is well to note that the beautiful feathers of these birds have no counterpart in the entire bird population and produce iridescent colours characteristic only of that family. The Doctor Bird has been immortalised for many decades in Jamaican folklore and song. Weather: The temperature is pretty much constant all year round in the high 80s.
