Parrot Island has remained largely untouched by human development, preserving its natural ecosystem. The island's name derives from the large flocks of parrots that return to roost every evening, a spectacle that has likely occurred for centuries. While no significant historical events are specifically tied to the island, its consistent role as a haven for these birds marks its enduring natural history. The local indigenous communities likely held the island in reverence, as they traditionally respect the balance of nature. Today, Parrot Island is protected and access is regulated to ensure the preservation of its unique ecosystem and the continued spectacle of the returning parrots.
