Located between Miami and South Beach, Florida Parrot Jungle Island began with one man's dream.  Austrian born Franz Scherr came to America in 1911, and 25 years later, he started a most unusual tourist attraction, Miami's Parrot Jungle. 

Parrot Jungle is now the home for 1,100 tropical birds, 2,000 varieties of plants and flowers, and the best trained bird show in the world. It is a place where exotic birds "fly free" everyday. 

The Green Winged Macaw is on the Endangered Species List  (April 23, 2004)
