The Valley is wild! Seriously.

Sure people have horses in the Valley. But they aren't wild. And I'm not talking about coyotes. So what is it? What could be so wild in the Valley? Monkeys! Yup. In the Valley. And wild parrots too. Mmm-hmmm. No kidding.

Yeah, some guy put a whole bunch of monkeys in the Valley. Read all about this long gone Valley spectacular here.


EEEP! No wonder it's gone.


And, if you want to know why sometimes you see parrots in your palm tree, it's because when Busch Gardens closed they basically just let the birds go -- but some people say the birds "escaped". Read about it here.
