After growing up in Canada, Bradley first visited and guided in Brazil in 2004, working at the Cristalino Lodge in the southern Amazon for four months before continuing on to bird throughout the country.
After several multi-month visits, including time spent studying the breeding biology of the Harpy Eagle in an urban forest patch, he moved to Brazil permanently in 2007, opening a local tour company the following year. As a guide he has always strived to provide quality customized service and attention while maintaining a high standard of birding, wildlife photography, and natural history tours throughout Brazil.
Bradley’s sharp ears and excellent knowledge of bird vocalizations and their habits and habitats, his quick eyes, understated enthusiasm and unending passion for birds, wry sense of humour, and perhaps above all else, his ample patience are all qualities which make him an excellent guide and trip leader.
Bradley makes his home in the Brazilian Amazon with his wife and children.
Bradley was a great leader, super knowledgeable about all the birds and worked really hard to make our experience a good one. Would recommend him as a leader for sure!

Brad Davis is one of the very best birding guides with whom I have had the pleasure of birding. I told him that he was the Hank Aaron of birding guides; the only guide I've ever birded with who would deserve an even higher rating was Brian Finch in Kenya. Brad knows the ID of the birds, the vocalizations, the taxonomy, the binomials, and so forth. He also possesses vast knowledge of Brazil's plants and wildlife, beyond just birds, along with geography, culture, and so forth. On top of that, he speaks perfect Portuguese, as best I could tell (being a non-Portuguese speaker myself). Those are rare traits to find all in one guide! This was a very good trip indeed. As I am writing this, I am so tired from the long trip back home, that I am not in my best frame of mind, and have probably overlooked something that might be food for thought in this survey response. I would like to add that the boat portion of the trip was excellent. I was particularly impressed with "Junior" Moasir, who was the rep from the boating company aboard." He was personable, knew the birds and wildlife, and helped make that part of the trip fun and memorable. Oh, and the food was excellent throughout the trip! I don't need a member of the team to contact me regarding my feedback, but if someone does want to contact me, that is fine, also.
