Rocklands Bird Sanctuary (9 mins from home)
On your way to our home from Montego Bay you'll pass the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary. The story behind this place is that the original “bird trainer” moved to this remote area in the hills of Jamaica in the early 1900’s, and fell in love. She would take daily strolls through the hills admiring and feeding the exotic species of birds. After about 5 years of these daily strolls, the birds started following her back home. Before she knew it, her home became their favourite hangout spot.
