Bird Island!!! Heaven in Disguise!!!!



It is an island not birds sanctury. Located north to Mahe island. Tiny Air seychelles flight
takes stunning take off for the stunning view from above. 30 min long journey drives u crazy if the weather is not favourable. But, being first time visitor I was stuck to the window. Just gazing at nature's amazing beauty.


Soon we were welcomed by island Lodge staffs, who are only inhabitants other than we guests. This island is known for its impressive migrant birds...sooty tern, fairy tern, noddy tern and their relatives. They travel all way from Australia, come here lay eggs. Bird eggs are smaller than chicken egg contain less cholestrol and fat in comparision. So EDIBLE!! I am not Joking, we are offered hard boiled hot hot bird eggs to relish. And it's just wonderful.

Most birds confine to their colonies away from chalets for they know HUMANS R DANGEROUS! We are aliens in their paradise. Apart from birds, we find 200yrs old Esmaraldo and many other massive tortoises. The lucky prince charm is Jeremy 30 yrs old active star tortoise. We headed toward chalet only to find that we should somehow increase our stay cos, we were slowly falling in love with this eco protected island, and loving seychelious hosts
Weekend night starts with music,wine & barbique ,people across the globe join together for fun & frolic.

The chirping birds sooth the eardrum for us away from usual automobile honks.The azure water of Indian ocean cannot be resisted by normal persons.The turqiose beaches cling us for snorkelling and treasure for beautiful corals and conches.
" Bird island" conjures up the image of perfect relaxation. It has marvelous feeling with unforgettable hospitality.We will come back here again for sure as this place is simply irresistable !!!
