Thousands of parrots returning at sunset
Nestled in the serene backwaters near Baratang Island, Parrot Island is one of the most enchanting and lesser-known attractions in the Andaman Islands. This tiny, uninhabited island is famous for an awe-inspiring natural spectacle every evening, just before sunset, thousands of parrots flock back to the island, circling the skies and settling into the mangroves in perfect harmony.
The sight is surreal hundreds of green-winged parrots flying in flocks, creating patterns against the golden sky, accompanied by the soft sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds. It’s a rare birdwatching moment that’s both calming and captivating.
Evening Arrival of Parrots
Every evening, just as the sun begins to set, thousands of parrots and parakeets mainly green parrots return to this island after a day of feeding inland. They arrive in flocks, flying in rhythmic waves, and slowly descend into the mangroves, chirping and rustling as they prepare to rest.
