Actually, in the 60's and 70'sthere was a tropical bird park on Ohau called Paradise Park. It was in the Moana Valley. I know because I went there as a school kid. I believe they told us sailors brought the first parrots to Hawaii from South America. They used to have Macaws and Cockatoos at International Market Place and still have them at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and some of the other hotels. Parrots have become so associated with Buffet that it is easy to forget they were associated with all things tropical before the emergance of Margaritaville. One of the stars of Tiki Gardens in Florida was "Paco" the scarlet Macaw. So I say, "Long Live Parrots"; especially because they do live a long time. Mango will probably still be saying "aloha" after I've sipped my last Mai-Tai. KG
