733.0. "State of Parrot Jungle in Miami?" by HOSANA::PELLEGRINO (Bob Pellegrino) Wed Sep 09 1992 20:01

Does anyone know what happened to Parrot Jungle after the
hurricane?  I saw the path on the map, and it seemed to pass right
over South Miami.  I had just been there for the third time this
Spring, and I was very sad to think they must have lost many
of my favorite birds.  I tried calling them, but there is only a
"Closed due to hurricane" recording. 

Any first hand info?  Did the birds fly away and then return?

733.1A little info.SALSA::DEFRANCOWed Sep 16 1992 18:4411
    I saw a news clip that showed someone from the Parrot Jungle petting a
    cockotoo and stating that many pets had been very much upset by the
    hurricane and that they needed special attention during these times. 
    I just caught the end of the clip and didn't hear whether or not they
    had lost many birds, but the surrounding area in the photo looked
    rather bad, windblown and trees down and such.  
    
    I wonder if the humane society in Miami could give you some info?
