Please note that most Bird watching guides are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local guide does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

For Bird watching birding and birdwatchers, Suriname is a true paradise. It is filled with bird species dwelling in unique and fragile habitats, large migratory birds arriving from the most remote parts of the world and with species that, having disappeared in other countries, flourish in unexplored corners of the country. These giant flocks are a fundamental element in the life cycles of the sea, jungle . Suriname's premier birding website can be found by clicking here
