A "Winged Wonder"
 A green wing macaw parrot suddenly turned up months ago and has decided to make Jungle Island it's home, specifically the Parrot Bowl. It had taken to flying in the beggining of the Winged Wonders show with the other free flying macaws and was seen walking on the net that covers the Manu encounter where again, macaws are flying free and co-inhabit with the squirrel monkeys. Ryan Prentice, who runs our famous bird show, Winged Wonders, thinks that it is middle aged. Since it had no tag, we assumed that it escaped or has been on the loose since Hurricane Andrew, 15 years ago. We didn't know whether it was a male or female, as you cannot tell with parrots, the male and females are equally colorful, all of them except for the electric parrot, where the females are red and the males are green, which it was. Although it is not tame, we managed to catch it and placed it in the Manu Encounter with the other free flying birds. Today, he has become the alpha male of the Manu Encounter!Labels: animals, bird show, exotic birds, family attraction, functions, miami, miami attraction, miami theme park, parrot jungle island, safari, tours, zoo

Once a roadside attraction featuring different species of birds, Jungle Island has blossomed into an interactive adventure for the entire family, featuring 18 acres of rich landscape that enhances the experience.
The highlight of the park are our amazing shows featuring animals from around the world. The world famous "Winged Wonders" show has exotic birds that will blow you away. Show your wild side with an assortment of rare cats and primates in our fascinating "Tale of the Tiger" show.

Whether it be our rare fish or cute mammals, all visitors are bound to have a memorable time. Our exclusive animals, including penguins, kangaroos, orangutans and lemurs, prove Jungle Island to be a prime destination.
Jungle Island also serves as an exceptional venue for functions such as weddings, birthdays, and bar mitzvah's. The Treetop Ballroom, located high above the jungle with a view of Miami's skyline, is an ideal choice for any occasion, large or small. Our dedicated staff will ensure your dream event becomes a reality.
We stress the relationship between visitors and the animals they encounter. Therefore, we offer VIP Safari Tours and numerous Kodak packages to ensure you have an encounter unlike any other in South Florida. As the evolution of the Jungle continues, we invite you and your family to be a part of it!
