Bird Island Garage
The abandoned Island Keeper’s home on Bird Island – with a garage

When it comes to government departments it seems as though the mistakes of today are just repetitions of the past.

The Bird Island Keepers abandoned home was built with a garage – just how a motor vehicle would be allowed or transported to the island remains a mystery though.

The 19 Hectare Bird Island in Algoa Bay, close to Port Elizabeth is home to over 300 000 birds.

Bird Island and St. Croix Island in Algoa Bay were proclaimed as part of Addo Elephant National Park in 2005. A Marine Protected Area (MPA) was proclaimed around Bird Island to protect important marine resources such as abalone (perlemoen).
