The Scarlet Ibis - Caroni Swamp Tour

About this activity

To witness the Scarlet Ibis come home to roost is the only one of its kind in the Region.

They are the rare "beautiful birds" whose loss are mourned by many because they bring a refreshing uniqueness to the world. They are the creatures who feed the souls of others. The brother realizes his loss as Doodle dies. He cries, holding him and "sheltering [his] fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of rain."
