Not by an 8000+ mi. longshot; U undoubtedly passed it in the hot tub of your Banks trampship on a course of 175⁰ish to round the Cape of Good Hope...enroute to the Malay coast and beyond...without noticing it was there; 'cause no one else did either??!

^ what is a "Banks" trampship?
"a course of 175⁰ish to round the Cape of Good Hope"?
This would point to Antarctica .. Du sprichst in Brezeln

Smaller island, probably meaning smaller than Australia
Can't be Madagascar, would be Africa.
Cannot be India, not an island. But then .. Sri Lanka?

Is it endemic, on this "smaller island"?

nope...too far east. If this bird were a parrot, it would spout Portuguese & be a Republican! Any more hints will give it away! @ Kai it is endemic; possibly on two islands approx. 90 miles apart... but for sure on just one island so far.@ Jimbuna: I already read all about your company when U posted your ship in an earlier puzzle, and I poured over the list of vessels to find yours for two daze and just aced out Kai by a minute!

nope; but you're in the right ocean. Now mount Pegasus and fly 6633 KM on a base-course of 172⁰!...to the small island.
