Refugio Paz De Las Aves “Bird Show”
At 1400 MASL (4590 ft) is a medium altitude private cloud forest located between Nanegalito and the road to Mindo in kilometer 65-66. It has 30 hectares (74 acres) of primary and secondary recovering cloud forest. There is a main trail and multiple side trails where the two brothers will take you to see the most amazing bird show in the wild. You can see birds that would be almost impossible to see in the wild only 5 ft away! They have trained the Giant Antpitta (called Maria), the Mustached Antpitta, the Yellow-breasted Antpitta to eat worms. Also, there is a lek that has been performing since 2005 with the beautiful Cock-of-the-rock. There are also fruit feeders that are frequently visited by the Sickle-winged Guan, the Crimson-rumped Toucanet, the colorful Tucan Barbet, the elusive Olivaeous Piha, the Blue-winged Mountain-Tanager and the Black-chinned Mountain-Tanager. There are humming bird feeders where it is possible to see the Velvet-purple Coronet, the Violet-tailed Sylph, the Purple-bibbed Whitetip, the Brown Inca, and the Booted Racket-tai.
The most important fact of this place beside the birds is that the owners used to cut the forest for living and now have become forest protectors! This grass root conservation project has to be supported by all bird lovers.
