Bird Island (Spanish: Isla Pájaro) is one of the Falkland Islands. It lies due south of West Falkland, near Port Stephens and Calm Head. It has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International.
According to Ian Strange "Such offshore islands [as Bird Island] are the remaining strongholds of a large percentage of bird life".
