Parrot Jungle - Miami, Florida

"Topsy" and "Pinky", Leadbeater's cockatoos, have been imported from Australia and now make their home at Miami's famous Parrot Jungle.  Their feathers are snowy white and soft as down.  Their beautiful crests are usually raised when the birds are excited or angry.

Florida is rich in colorful Birdlife and due to the tropical climate they can be seen throughout the year, roaming freely the jungles and Gardens.

Parrot Jungle - Miami, Florida

Picturesque Entrance to the Parrot Jungle, Miami, Florida

The Friendly Parrots in Florida's famous Parrot Jungle sit and pose on the shoulders and arms of visitors.  They are free to fly in and out of Parrot Jungle.

Macaws at Miami's famous Parrot Jungle have been trained to pose on visitors' arms and shoulders for souvenir photographs.  "Bunny" and "Willy" can't quite figure out why the children are straining their faces so much.  Maybe the birds haven't weighed themselves lately.
