Orange was a 16th century ceremonial village situated on the southwest corner of Easter Island. Just opposite to Orongo Village, there is tiny islet of Moto Nui, which is a scene of annual ‘birdman’ competition. This is held each year in early spring when the manutara birds come to nest on the small outcrop of rock. A chosen member of each tribe races to get an egg and brings it back to the crowd. The winner of the game gets prestige and power as a birdman and surprisingly this competition tool place in 1867.
