In the Flashback Miami Herald website, for example, displays photos of an older attraction that was named, "Parrot Jungle". This website has photos taken from the 1980's and the names and dates of the photographers are underneath each picture. This shows who has taken the pictures. Mary Lou Foy has a picture she took in the 80's and it is now on the website to this day. She took a picture at the Parrot Jungle with two young teenage girls who seem to be feeding two parrots, and yet, the quality is black and white.
