Coco is our 14-year-old white cockatoo. She’s a native to Midway and has made it her home. Coco is a caffeine fiend! She loves coffee and will drink your whole cup if you let her, but she’s not allowed to drink it anymore. Her favorite thing to do is chew the wood underneath her perch which also happens to be her favorite hangout. She’s a total “people person” (or cockatoo) and loves to be pet and held, if she’s in the mood.

Romeo is our 35-year-old green parrot. He’s the grandpa of the group! He was donated to us about four years ago. His favorite food is saltine crackers and his favorite thing to do is nap in his cage and enjoy the humidity. He’s a very shy bird. He likes talking (when he feels like it) and being talked to. Since he’s shy he mainly keeps to himself around new people.

Red is our 12-year-old boa. He’s Baby’s roommate and we brought him home from the pet shop 10 years ago. His favorite thing to eat is a giant lab rat. He loves to hang out in the “penthouse” part of their cage. He also loves to climb the tree branch in his room so he can sunbathe.

We have an assortment of local snakes. None of them are venomous and they range from Milk Snakes to Yellow Rat Snakes.

Last, but not least, our baby alligators! They range in age from two to four years old. Most of them are named Hollywood since they’re our local celebrities. They came to us from the local alligator farm down the road from us. They love to eat chicken livers, and their favorite thing to do is pose for pictures with our guests. They give our captains the opportunity to educate our guests on Florida’s gators.
