Stock Photo - White-tailed Tropicbirds can be seen soaring in the skies above Bird Island and nesting in the tree roots all around the hotel grounds. These birds are closely monitored, after the rehabilitation of their breeding habitats. This has led to a successful increase in their numbers over the years â. “ from only 1 pair to about 90 pairs in a decade. Knowing that they are protected on Bird Island, these long tail feathered birds show very little fear of human visitors, and with no predators around, they build their nests very near to the chalets. Guests are thus able to view the birds up close and even capture close range photos.
