Native Birds of Jamaica: Three Little Birds

by Iris

I was wondering if anyone knew what "three little birds" Bob Marley was referring to in his song?

If no one knows of the actual bird, does anyone know of a popular, dense population of little Jamaican birds? Any help would be great!

The "Three Little Birds" that Bob Marley is referring to are his back-up singers. Not sure about the Native Birds of Jamaica.
