Could the Jungle Island parrots return to their old home? Talk has started
Briefly

Jungle Island and Pinecrest leaders are exploring the potential return of up to 50 parrots to Pinecrest from their current home on Watson Island. This initiative is in response to a feasibility study aiming to assess collaborative opportunities for the care and placement of these birds. The Pinecrest Village Council will make decisions based on community input regarding this initiative. Meanwhile, redevelopment proposals for Watson Island may lead to significant changes at Jungle Island, prompting a reevaluation of the birds' home.
As many as 50 parrots could be returning to their original home as the Miami theme park Jungle Island and Pinecrest leaders explore the possibility of moving the birds south from Watson Island.
Jungle Island and Pinecrest Gardens are engaged in an exploratory feasibility study to assess potential collaborations concerning the future care and placement of some of Jungle Island's birds.
What happens is that the village was approached by the folks over at Jungle Island, and the village sees this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to continue to preserve Miami's history.
The Pinecrest Village Council will call the shots on whether to accept a donation of the birds, which could mark a significant shift in the local environment.
