Rockland Bird Feeding Sanctuary was established by a woman named Lisa, who moved to the area near the current Rockland Bird Feeding Sanctuary in 1954. Due to her love for nature, she often fed the local birds, earning her the title of “Bird Lady.” She frequently visited various birds in the area and decided to establish a bird sanctuary. Eight years later, her dream became a reality, and the Rockland Bird Feeding Sanctuary, open to the public, was established.
The Rockland Bird Feeding Sanctuary is home to 252 bird species, including 24 rare and exotic birds that cannot be seen elsewhere. Visitors can admire the beautiful postures of the birds in the sanctuary, especially the national bird of Jamaica – the hummingbird. Starting at 3:30 p.m. each afternoon, sightseeing tourists can enter the feeding area and personally feed the small birds that fly to their hands. By 4:30 p.m., hundreds of birds will gather, creating a breathtaking sight. Being surrounded by many birds singing joyfully to you is also a delightful experience, and you may even be dazzled by their presence!
