Ouvea Parakeet Detour

Ouvea is part of the Loyalty Islands, just off the coast of New Caledonia.  It's the only place in the world to see an Ouvea Parakeet and is a total off-the-beaten-path, once-in-a-lifetime birding spot.  *Please be aware that we have a lot of travel logistics in this episode, because it took us some figuring out how to get there, transport, and accommodations - hopefully it's helpful if you ever decide to explore Ouvea!*Adventure begins at: 10:02Show notesMorro Bay Birding Festival Spring Chirp eBird Taxonomic update finalizes Quill and Finch journals  Discount Code: HannahandErik New Caledonia Bird Guide Isabelle Tribal Home Stay on OuveaeBird Trip ReportBirds/Animals mentionedIntro Bird Call: Rufous Whistler (Recorded: New Caledonia October, 2025)Outro Bird Call: Gray-eared Honeyeater (Recorded: New Caledonia October, 2025)Support the showConnect with us at...IG: @Hannahgoesbirding and @ErikgoesbirdingFacebook: @HannahandErikGoBirdingEmail us at [email protected]: http://www.gobirdingpodcast.comVenmo: @hannahanderikgobirdingGet a discount at Buteo Books using code: BIRDNERDBOOKCLUB
