Ouvea Parakeet Detour

Ouvea is part of the Loyalty Islands, just off the coast of New Caledonia. It's the only place in the world to see an Ouvea Parakeet and is a total off-the-beaten-path, once-in-a-lifetime birding spot.

*Please be aware that we have a lot of travel logistics in this episode, because it took us some figuring out how to get there, transport, and accommodations - hopefully it's helpful if you ever decide to explore Ouvea!*
