Mauritian fauna Mauritius has a developed range of endemic species. © Bamba Sourang / OT Ile Maurice
Many species of Mauritian birds are now endemic. It is the case of the kestrel, the Mauritian budgerigar, the red pigeon and the cuckoo-shrike (Coracina typica). Now protected, these species can find a stable environment in zones run by 'Mauritian Wildlife'. For more possible opportunities to see some of these creatures with superb plumage, it is recommended to go to the Rivière Noire National Park. As you are walking round the park with a pair of good binoculars, you will be able to observe their gracious flight.
