Birds of Fiji

Here's a Fiji parrotfinch, and below is a spectacular maroon shining parrot. There are many very colourful birds in Fiji.

But frankly, most of the birds we saw were dreaded Indian mynah birds. By one account, 83% of all the birds in Fiji are now of this species! It's been quite a mynah apocalypse.

Australia may be headed that way too, and there are fightback campaigns underway!
