Feeding Hummingbirds & Searching for the Mystical PATOO in Jamaica! 🇯🇲

- I’m back in Montego Bay Area visiting the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary for a special tour! Today Fritz is taking me on an early morning hike to see some birds that only exist in Jamaica. I was so fortunate to be able to see a “Patoo”, Jamaica’s only owl, as well as get to hand feed Doctor Birds and Jamaican Mango hummingbird. Make sure to turn your sound UP! We also see an interesting herb that some birds are attracted too, as well see the ruins of one of the first Caterpillars ever made.
To visit the sanctuary please see / rocklandsbirdsanctuary

The Patoo Chocolate Company I mentioned, just google search "Patoo Chocolate".
More about doctor birds here!
“The doctor bird or swallow tail humming bird (Trochilus Polytmus), is one of the most outstanding of the 320 species of hummingbirds. It lives only in Jamaica.
These birds’ beautiful feathers have no counterpart in the entire bird population and they produce iridescent colours characterstic only of that family. In addition to these beautiful feathers, the mature male has two long tails which stream behind him when he flies. For years the doctor bird has been immortalized in Jamaican folklore and song.
The Meaning in the Name
The origin of the name ‘Docor-bird’ is somewhat unsettled. It has been said that the name was given because the erect black crest and tails resemble the top hat and long tail coats doctors used to wear in the old days. Other schools of thought believe that it refers to the way the birds lance the flowers with their bills to extract nectar.
According to Frederic Cassidy the bird is an object of superstition. The Arawaks spread the belief that the bird had magical powers. They called it the ‘God bird’, believing it was the reincarnation of dead souls. This is manifested in a folk song which says: “Doctor Bud a cunny bud, hard bud fe dead”. (It is a clever bird which cannot be easily killed).”

Love your energy sweetie
Love the comment 💯
but I think you need to learn more about the black history. White man created the bible to control the masses of people on the globe .... if you ask any indigenous group on earth if they believe in the bible majority still say no. For me personally I believe Muslim religion is the closest thing related to our maker if there is 1
Hummingbirds are just magnificent creatures, so beautiful 🤗
This was so relaxing to watch
Jamaica has some of the most Beautiful birds and flowers in the world. Thanks Matt ❤
Beautiful birds what a wonderful bit of wildlife paradise
Matthew Thank you for making this video. You have no idea how much I love birds and nature, I was drawing nature and birds since I was a child. I want to move to Jamaica so much only God knows.
So beautiful❤ That place is definitely on my itinerary when we visit.
Love this type of vlog. Fritz is so smart and knows all the birds and especially the hummingbirds. So fast. That owl is very rare and I think endangered too. So lush and green. Miss that jungle vibe. More of these.
Stay safe.
Glad you liked it! He's like a Hummingbird Whisperer. Thanks for watching!
It's no family of the owl. Lol it's a species by itself. Different types of patoo also. They spread over the Caribbean and amazon area
Love this place I spent lots of time there when I lived in Mobay in the late 90's Thanks for taking me back there💛💚🦜
Very cool! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey I attended the anchovy high school & I never knew their was a bird sanctuary I will have to visit next trip to Jamaica thanks for this video
❤️❤️❤️ Loved it! Thank you for sharing this joy! 🇯🇲
🦦 I Came for the Enjoyment 😮 😊 I Stayed for the Amazement 😊😮
Matthew Feeding the Hummingbirds Like that Kid who Breaks Open his Piggy Bank on the Counter in the Candy Store = Rich Fun 🤩
Good words my friend
Oh wow! The hummingbirds in Jamaica look so beautiful and exotic. I have a feeder on my patio and I love watching them. The most common type I see is Anna’s hummingbird
Beutiful in morning, bird call and song.
This video is so AMAZING! Never knew hummingbirds were so friendly like that
Thank you! Yeah, it's really cool how they do that.
This is super nice matthew. Those hummingbirds are beautiful❤
thank you so much Matt Matt for this experience i enjoyed this video a LOT!
My pleasure! I'm glad you like it.
That's great Matt 👍, you continue to enjoy my home country and I will hold it down in cold Canada 🇨🇦 , that's life my boy!
Iv'e been there 4 weeks ago. Beautiful place realy incredible birds. The purple one was chasing all the others away. And Fritz has a new haircut 😂😂😂
It is such an amazing experience. So happy you got to experience it as well! Thanks for watching. Bless up 🙌
A great organization with a righteous mission to support. Thanks for including the link to their page.
Music for life 🐦🦜🐤
And that's on our planet! BLESS
About 20 years ago, a colleague-friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go bird watching with him. I thought ... bird watching? People like to do that? So, I went along with him ... and then fell deeply in love with bird watching.
big up to the bird man of jamaica, Thanks matt
Matthew l love how you are enjoying yourself with all these animals
"3-4g? i can smoke that!" You got me there xD
The sound they make is mad 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
That caterpillar tractors was made in the 1920s. Probably been on the yard nearly as long. Another banger Matty
It is amazing how Mother nature reclaims her turf
The Potoo is one of my absolute favorites! I never heard of them being in Jamaica. So cool!
people are afraid of them they are hard to spot, because of their features and its sound they can be intimidating its been a folk-law tail for years when i was growing up in Jamaica i saw one flying once never saw anymore after till this video lol
@@Chasingbuildsnyc yeah it’s believed to be a bad omen and thought to mean impending death but I just love the way they look and sound. It’s not unheard of to see them in in southern U.S. but I have never seen one in person.
I used to them all the time in St. Thomas, when I was a child
I saw one of the UTech campus. I have a picture too
@@alanadavis8568 I would love to see one in person. I now live in a region too far north to see them tho. I need to move😆
That’s awesome Matt so lovely to watch!🇯🇲❤️💚💛
could you imagine waking up in the morning smoking a spliff and your job for the rest of the day is too watch and feed these magnifecent creatures

LOVE THIS !! Beautiful!!
Blessings Matthew Respect Bro!!
Been watching you for a year or so and this is your best post yet .. so cool
Blessings Matthew hope that your having a wonderful weekend
The patu is an owl and is only active at night, so they are rarely seen by people.
It is not an owl. Patoos are nocturnal insectivores. Owls are carnivores.
@@kwacou4279 I guess you are right. A quick Google search gave it as a species of owl but further reading proves what you said was right. I learnt something new because as a boy growing up we called all owls patoos.
Yes Matthew!! Quality stuff bro x JP
Enjoyable. Thank you!
Love this place,just Amazing! Bless up brother Matthew
Love love
💯🔥🔥🔥🇬🇾👍
I used to see Owls all the time in Jamaica as a child or hear them..
Beautiful video Mathew 😍😍

Awesome👍👍
Big up! This was so dope Matt!💜
amazing
3-4 Grams?! I could smoke that! xD Cheers Matt, thanks for another great video!
such a cool bird matt thanks again for the trip to Jamaica
If you enjoy humming birds, get a feeder, they will come. I use to set really still about 2ft under the feeder. They would eventually come up & feed. The wind that comes from their wings is quite strong.
Good words my friend
8:15 fun fact, humming birds don't just eat nectar. They eat small insects like mosquitoes & ants too.
Awesome video Matt! Love it!enjoy it so much every time you visit Rocklands!love all your videos btw. Rocklands is so magical ✨️
Thanks so much! Yes, definitely a magical place.
Beautiful video
Saw glad you got to see the Patoo "Jamaican 🦉 " have seen the video where you saw one at Moko's too with Ratty,so awesome 👌 👏 👍
Thanks!
Kita semua bisa bayangkan bagaimana jadinya apabila habitat mereka atau rumah mereka d hutan rusak oleh tangan 2 tak tanggung jawab .maka akan punah juga semua penghuni hutan terebut termasuk burung maduan yg cantik itu 😊🤔💚❤✌🙏...lindungilah bumi kita. Salam dr saya anak indonesia damai dunia dan semua isinya
🦁 🐾
👌
👌💞
Tyler Mac well you can see the bird is ah humming one
Obiah man wants the eyes of the patoo. That's what makes them rare😭😭
HOW can we donate to the sanctuary? do they have a website?
😍😍😍✊🏽🤙🏽☝🏽❤️💥
the potoo bird is very creepy, alot of persons mistake it for an owl.
3-4 grams? I could smoke that! 😂😂😂
What a great world we live in were we have to censor the word Ganja as if it were some kind of swear, insult or improper expression.
playback speed at 0.25 still can't see the wings lol
2:09 that's what happens when you plant at the wrong time of the year. Please only plant near the beginning of the growing season. The plant was stunted because there are not enough hours of light in the day. This caused the plant to go straight into bloom. Unfortunately, this is going to be the biggest it will get. Just one small bud. The reason it's bad is because... it's basically wasting genetics. If you grow a really good genetic, you only have a blunt worth tops. If it were grown much earlier, you could have several Oz to pounds of that same great genetic. When you grow from male on female seeds you cannot predict exactly how the genetics will play out. Even when the plants are the same breed. You can get a good idea, but not exact.
Mathew pay attention feeding the birds dem about two of dem not getting nothing you're not holding the bottle properly
lol
I hear a few people asking how can they donate or invest in the sanctuary.
DONT! we want everything to stay as is.. Excess = destruction.
What are you talking about? There's an admission fee to enter the bird sanctuary. Do you think it's free to maintain?
Who is "we" no disrespect either, but i'm sure Fritz wouldnt mind a little donation here and there I want this gentleman as comfortable as possible so he can continue to to do the work of the cultivator
I now for a fact you practice some type of devilism
Why are you censoring ganja lately? Herb is a part of the culture man. It wasnt a problem a few years ago, now for some reason it is and you feel the need to censor it? But on your other channel its totally fine?This makes no sense. Please stop this madness.
CZcams doesn't monetize herb related stuff. Alot of the herb account on CZcams aren't monetized.
Love it keep up with the great vlogs blessings miss mokko in the vlogs
❤️❤️Hey Matthew, I would love to feed those hummingbirds all day.
It was an awesome experience. I hope you get the chance to do it. Bless up!
