Parrot Jungle Island

	Map		Reviews

Austrian born Franz Scherr came to America in 1911, and 25 years later, he started a most unusual tourist attraction, Miami's Parrot Jungle. An attraction where birds would "fly free". Franz had a few birds in the store, and he noticed that the birds were friendly, and easy to train. So, after talking with his friend, Joe DuMond, of Monkey Jungle in Miami, Franz decided to start his own Jungle. He rented 20 acres of hammock land south of Miami for $25.00 per year, moved to the area and started developing the attraction. His family was sure that the birds would fly away, but Franz had more faith in nature. From this rapport with nature, Franz Scherr created a most unusual attraction. 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. [Other Resource]
