Hillside garden sanctuary founded in 1953 by 'Bird Lady' Lisa Salmon, where wild hummingbirds, including the endemic red-billed streamertail (doctor bird), feed from hand-held nectar bottles on covered patios. Hosts help visitors with photographs; visits last one to one and a half hours and groups are kept small.
