Disney Animal Kingdom News for February 15, 2017: New birds and meet and greets

More information on the bird demonstrations:  We have gotten more information of the new bird shows testing throughout the park. There will be 2, one is in Dinoland and one in Harambe. In each show, three to four species will be used with the one in Dinoland emphasizing the relationship between bird and dinosaur. The Dinoland show will occur at 3:30 and 4:30 pm and will use a temporary stage. The African show will not be listed on the times guides and will use the stage already in the middle of Harambe. It should be noted that these shows will change the schedule at Flights of Wonder, with less performances there. Please check your times guide for same.

Doc McStuffins: A meet and greet of the Disney Junior character will be coming to Rafiki's Planet Watch. She will greet guests near the Veterinarian area of the Planet Watch. The character is a doctor for toys so I suppose it is somewhat theme appropriate.  She will be replacing Chip and Dale as the meet and greet character in the area. Rafiki will continue greeting guests, as well.
