Really exciting to see #TrinidadandTobago #birds celebrated in @LTCarnival's 2024 beautiful #carnival costumes! 🦜
(Tweaks from a biologist: #hummingbird is all one word with 18 species in T&T, & I'd have voted for another native sp instead of BoP - motmot?)

It’s #WorldChocolateDay 🍫 & we’ve got delicious news for you! Research shows that ‘shade-cocoa’ #farms with 30-40% canopy cover 🌳 & diverse shade trees could support as many #bird 🦉 species as undisturbed #forests. 😲
