Millet Bird Sanctuary Trail
Millet Bird Sanctuary
A rainforest birdwatching trail in the mountains south of Castries, where you may spot the national bird, the Saint Lucia parrot, and other endemic species.
Millet Bird Sanctuary lies in the mountains of west-central Saint Lucia and is managed by the Forestry Department. The loop trail, about 3.5 km long, passes through secondary rainforest and a reservoir and offers views over the surrounding valleys. More than 30 bird species have been recorded here, including endemic species such as the Saint Lucia parrot, the national bird, and the Saint Lucia warbler. It is recommended to book a Forestry Department guide and set out early in the morning; a small trail fee applies. It is about a 40-minute drive from Castries. The roads are fair, and it can be visited on the way from the Marigot Bay area.
