Barbados Wildlife Reserve

The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is located in a natural mahogany wood across the road from the Farley Hill National Park in the northern parish of St. Peter.

Here you have a unique opportunity to stroll freely through the Reserve watching the animals at close range and in their own natural environment. There are few cages and the animals can be observed as they eat, play and interact with the other animals

• What types of animals will you spot here?

1. The Barbados Green Monkeys are common and are especially popular at the afternoon feeding time. Note that the monkeys are free to leave the reserve and often do so during the day.

                               

2. Birds vary from colourful parrots, flamingoes and peacocks to brown pelicans and sparrows. The walk-through aviary is a special treat!             
                         

3. Reptile lovers will appreciate the collection of snakes (these are in cages!), iguanas, turtles and tortoises.

4. Non-native animals include the Brocket Deer, agouti, caiman (looks like an alligator) and armadillo.

Why do I want to visit this wildlife reserve?

Well, pretty much because I really love animals of any kind (except snakes [EW.]) and seeing them in their natural habitat really brings me pleasure. I appreciate the fact that there are people , who are willing to help the animals and  do their best for providing good conditions for a wildlife. Also, I love travelling and this would be a great opportunity for a new journey.
