- Central Parrot Aviary — A loud, colorful room where flocks of parrots wheel and chatter; prime time is feeding when the birds come so close you can see individual feather patterns. Great for photos and for experiencing the park’s namesake up close.
- Mangrove Boardwalk — A winding wooden trail through salt-tolerant mangroves that trap sediment and shelter juvenile fish and shorebirds; quiet, shaded, and perfect for spotting herons, kingfishers, and fiddler crabs at eye level.
- Hummingbird Garden — A patch of native flowering shrubs and small feeders that attracts several tiny, fast-moving species; bring a camera with a fast shutter or just enjoy the near-silent, high-speed acrobatics.
- Hawk Lookout Trail — A short but rocky hike to a ridgeline viewpoint where raptors commonly thermal up;

- Hawk Lookout Trail — A short but rocky hike to a ridgeline viewpoint where raptors commonly thermal up; the trail is steep in parts, so wear decent shoes, and the panorama of the island and sea is worth the sweat.
- Wetland Observation Tower — Elevated platform overlooking shallow ponds and mudflats used by migratory and resident shorebirds; excellent for longer lens photography and for watching tides change the landscape.
- Native Tree Arboretum — A quiet loop showcasing the island’s native and fruiting trees that draw insect-eating and fruit-eating birds; good for slower, guided walks and learning which trees support which species.
- Sunset Cliff Overlook — A short walk from the park entrance to a cliff edge that faces west; the sunset light transforms the park’s colors and you’ll often see flocks heading to roost against the ocean backdrop.
