Swampy’s #Florida Postcard: Hello from Parrot Jungle! 1940s.
Parrot Jungle was once a wonderful place of performing birds within a botanical wonder. That, sadly, is gone now.
Parrot Jungle closed years ago. A variation opened miles away on Watson Island, named Jungle Island, which was less about parrots. In February the Miami City Council approved Jungle Island to redevelop into a massive hotel and parking garage. There is a promise to keep some of the animals. I’m wondering if those will jsut be stuffed for $20 each?
The original site of Parrot Jungle is now Pinecrest Gardens and you can learn more and plan a visit by clicking here:
