A Bird's Eye View

Bruno Amby has one of the more interesting jobs as Resort Aviarist at Four Seasons Resort Lanai.  Feathered Resort residents KeO KeO, Ola, Uliuli, Luya and Hauoli are part of the Rescue Bird Program, a partnership with the Peninsula Humane Society and others.  With the over-abundance of captive tropical birds throughout the world, and their long-lived nature (some birds can live 80+ years) it is imperative to find them nice homes, as these birds cannot be returned to nature.  And a great home they have found, which includes a great caretaker in Uncle Bruno.  Find Bruno near the bird houses in the wings leading to guest rooms or at a satellite location at the pool, beach or Kids For All Seasons club with a bird in tow and be sure to grab a snapshot with one of our feathered friends during your Hawaiian vacation.  "Talk story," sing along as Uncle Bruno plays harmonica for the birds - She’ll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain is a favourite.  Or, learn how to weave a flower or hat from leaves – with more than 30 years tenure, he’s a true Lanai kapuna, or elder, who loves sharing his knowledge of island culture with guests.
