All about Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands Coat of Arms is made up of three elements; the shield, the crested helm and the motto

The Cayman Islands Flag 
The Cayman flag is blue, with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant and the Caymanian coat of arms centered on the outer half of the flag.

Cayman Islands Logo
This unofficial national logo was originally created by Suzy Soto in 1963 and sold for $1.00 to the Department of Tourism in the early 1970's.

Cayman's National Bird: Grand Cayman Parrot
The Cayman Islands' parrots are two subspecies of the Cuban Parrot. The islands' parrots have iridescent green feathers with darker edges over the body, a white eye ring, red cheeks, black ear patches and brilliant blue wing feathers.

Cayman's National Lizard: Blue Iguanna
This unique and magnificent creature is endemic to Grand Cayman - which means that it is found nowhere else in the world.

Cayman's National Flower: Wild Banana Orchid
The Wild Banana Orchid (Schomburgkia thomsoniana) is one of 27 varieties of orchid that grow in the Cayman Islands.

Cayman's National Food: Turtle

Cayman's National Tree: Silver Thatch Palm
The Silver Thatch Palm (Coccothrinax proctorii) is unique to the Cayman Islands. Known locally as "Tatch", the upper sides of the fronds are light green, but the underside is a silvery colour.
