Type: Live amphitheater show
Time: About 20 minutes
Kelly says: Fascinating birds and lore
This show is perfect theme park edutainment. A parrot talks and even sings on cue. A variety of multicolored parrots and raptors fly through hoops, swoop low over the seats, and land on volunteers brought up from the audience. Enormous storks, vultures, and even an Andean condor fly in for guest appearances. All of this is accompanied by a steady flow of fascinating facts and lore about the birds on display. The show’s indisputable star is Lolita, an Amazonian parrot, who does a deft comedy routine with her handler
An engaging team of bird handlers carries the show along with good humor and cool professionalism, but it’s the birds that count here. They are so fascinating that this is perhaps the best animal show in the park.
Note: This show seems to change more than most. Sometimes they try different things to make the show more interesting, not always with great success. Other times accommodations have to be made due to the availability of avian performers, so the show you see on your visit may be slightly different from the one described here. Although I have liked some versions of this show better than others, it has always been worth seeing.
