Frigate Bird Sanctuary

Nestled within the mangrove forests of Codrington Lagoon National Park on the island of Barbuda, the Frigate Bird Sanctuary hosts the largest population of frigatebirds in the Western Hemisphere. This natural haven is home to a thriving colony of around 5,000 birds. The sanctuary comes alive during the winter months when male frigatebirds engage in their distinctive mating ritual, puffing out their bright red throat pouches to attract females. Visitors can witness this captivating display and explore the lush, tranquil surroundings that provide a vital habitat for these remarkable seabirds.
