Parrot Jungle (original site)
Franz and Louise Scherr opened Parrot Jungle on 20 December 1936, charging 25 cents to see their birds; Winston Churchill was among its visitors. The village of Pinecrest bought the grounds in 2002 and the attraction moved downtown. On the site now: Pinecrest Gardens, a village park since 2003; Parrot Jungle itself moved to Watson Island and is now Jungle Island.
