An estimated 80% of Guyana’s primary rainforest remains intact, surrounded by a number of savannah grasslands, mangrove forests and coastal swamps. Together, they make a thriving habitat for birds. Eight hundred and twenty species of birds have a soft spot for the jungle canopies, coastal plains and golden savannahs of Guyana.

Of these, almost 200 are found in the capital city of Georgetown. Bird watchers can explore many hotspot locations and trails suitable for sighting species, such as the magnificent harpy eagle, vibrant cock-of-the-rock, and the national bird, the hoatzin.
