Talking Bird Parrot

The King’s flight call is a scratchy brassy ‘Chack! Chack!’ and only the male lets out a long drawn out ringing ‘creee’ or sweee’. Both the male and female let out a harsh screeching alarm call if predators are around or if they get a scare. These are shrill double notes and a high pitched shriek. Despite this, these parrots are not noisy and can be peacefully kept in a suburban backyard. This is in stark contrast to other similarly sized parrots, particularly those from South America.

As well as their unmarked bright scarlet red head and body, a particular feature that I look for in a King Parrot are the “zeds” (iridescent light green stripes) that appear on their wings. These provide a great contrast in the wing colour and I endeavour to obtain and breed Kings that display this attractive marking larger than normal. These “zeds” are most prevalent in the cock bird, however, a number of my hens also show this striking feature. Another aspect of the King’s appearance is that some have a flatter shaped head than the more rounded head which is much more appealing to the eye.

Parrot Jungle Island in Miami was the brain child of Franz Scherr. Scherr moved to America from Austria in 1911 and worked as a carpenter throughout the country. He always loved nature and when the opportunity to move to Homestead, Florida during the land boom of the 1920’s came along he and his family moved and began living off the land. Eventually Franz bought a feed and supply store and he began to collect a few birds in the store. He grew to love the friendly nature of the birds and an idea was born.

The birds are obviously the biggest draw to Parrot Jungle Island but it’s not just parrots anymore. One of the most unexpected creatures that you’ll see at Parrot Jungle Island are the African Penguins. These cute little guys are not cold weather birds and are incredible swimmers and divers.

There are food dispensers throughout the park and most of the birds enjoy being fed by visitors. Make sure to stop and take advantage of this opportunity.

In keeping with Franz Scherr’s love of all nature the park doesn’t only feature birds, the native and imported plants are an important part of the experience in the park. One of the more interesting plants on the island is the Sausage Tree, its fruit looks a lot like really big sausages hanging down by strings. The fruit is woody and not good to eat but it can be used to ferment beer, cure snake bites and some skin problems. In addition to seeing the Sausage Tree you’ll get to see Bo Trees, Cycads, Coconut Palms, Red Bougainvillea, Calabash Trees, Bromeliads, Bananas, Crotons, Banyan Trees, Platycerium, and Crodia Lutea among many, many more.
