Disney's Animal Kingdom News for February 8, 2017: More Birds?

New Bird Show?: According to Orlando Park News, testing is about to begin on a new bird demonstration in Dinoland USA. Cast members will be getting a sneak peek on Friday, February 10th, for a demo that will start later this month. This is continuing the trend at the park for more animal demonstrations. Recently, animal handlers have been popping up in the Oasis with live reptiles for a brief talk. Kids often get to gently touch the animal, as well. This is part of Disney's partnership with NEI, who performs these types of shows across the country.

Winged Encounters may be one of three bird shows
