As the name suggests, the Parrot Island is home to the tropical parrots. Every evening thousands of parrots flock to the island, the reason for which remains a mystery till date. The surprising thing is that they leave the very next morning, only to arrive back in the evening. You need to take a ferry from Baratang Jetty and pass through a creek to reach Parrot Island. Apart, from parrots a lot of different species of birds also come and roost on the Parrot Island and are collectively called parakeets. Seeing the sun set and birds flapping their wings over the island is resounding and a heaven for bird lovers.
