Ouvea is part of the Loyalty Islands, just off the coast of New Caledonia.  It's the only place in the world to see an Ouvea Parakeet and is a total off-the-beaten-path, once-in-a-lifetime birding spot.  
*Please be aware that we have a lot of travel logistics in this episode, because it took us some figuring out how to get there, transport, and accommodations - hopefully it's helpful if you ever decide to explore Ouvea!*
