The 180-acre Brac Parrot Reserve sits on top of the Bluff and protects the only nesting habitat of the Cayman Brac parrot, Amazona leucocephala hesterna — an endemic subspecies of the Cuban parrot found nowhere else. The population is small (estimates run between 400 and 600 birds) and recovering slowly from Hurricane Paloma in 2008, which knocked out a large fraction of the breeding stock.
A short loop trail through dry forest gives a reasonable chance of spotting the birds, especially in the early morning. They are not flashy — green with a white forehead, a pink throat patch and a dark mask — but they call constantly and the flock movements at sunrise and sunset can be loud and dramatic. The reserve also harbours the Brac's other endemic bird, the Cayman Brac vireo. Bring binoculars; bring water and a hat.
