A Rainforest Expedition into Fiji's Endemic Birds to Discover Kadavu's Avian Symphony
You could spend many glorious hours scouring Kadavu’s rainforests for signs of it’s 4 endemic birds - like the crimson flash of the shining musk parrot or distinctive call of the yellow-headed whistling dove.
Lots of other Fijian native birds share this island with numerous seabirds; especially on uninhabited Yabu Island near Ono. You might not have to wander too far from your resort to see many of them but traipsing through the rainforest and mangroves is its own adventure too. Take a local guide along with you though – with your head in the trees, you’ll need one to find your way back.
