Syndicate Forest
Without doubt, the best way to catch sight of the Jaco, the Sisserou, and many other species of bird is to take a relaxing stroll through the rainforest with an experienced and knowledgeable guide.
One of the best places for a birdwatching trip is the Syndicate Nature Trail in the Morne Diablotin National Park. It is very close to Secret Bay and is an easy and very scenic rainforest trail where there’s a good chance of spotting Dominica’s two endemic parrots: the Sisserou (Amazona imperialis) and the Jaco (Amazona arausiaca). The Syndicate Trail is also a great place for sightings of Dominica’s four species of hummingbird, as well as rare tremblers, thrashers, bananaquits, warblers, flycatchers, and many more.
Our expert guide is able to mimic the call of many birds, drawing them out of the foliage and into view, and knows all the best places to find rare and beautiful species. His intimate knowledge of the Syndicate area also means he has a handle on where parrots are feeding and nesting.
