Milne Bay also has a rich variety of parrots, palm cockatoo, hornbills, bowerbirds, birds of paradise, kingfishers, plus many more.
The best time of year to see the bird of paradise is August & September as that is when they are courting and when the males display for the females.
We would love to share our knowledge and interest of this wonderful area with you.
You will observe many great birds plus other fauna and flora.
We will also show you the culture of the local people who are subsistence farmers still living in their villages in bush material huts.
