Winged Encounters at Disney's Animal Kingdom to move location from today

Mar 10, 2015 in "Disney's Animal Kingdom"

Posted: Tuesday March 10, 2015 10:25am EDT by WDWMAGIC Staff

Winged Encounter is set to relocate to the center of the park for performances from today.

The perch that was previously just across from Flame Tree Barbecue is now relocated to the area in front of the Tree of Life.

'Winged Encounters - The Kingdom Takes Flight,' gives guests an up-close encounter with macaws and animal experts, and a chance to see the birds fly around the island.

Flights of Wonder is my favorite show on property. http://financenot.com/3n.jpg

We saw this also during emh's in October. We use to have macaws and cockatoos so I know how intelligent they are. We thought they had "escaped". They actually landed in the trees. It was such a great feeling seeing these beautiful birds flying free. They can escape from just about anything unless it's made of metal. We had one that totally chewed the door jam around our patio doors off before we even realized what he had been doing. The jam was behind a curtain close to his perch, so we didn't notice it for a while.

Yeah, now the Brookfield Zoo owns the Stink Palace.

I hear that. Back when Lincoln Park Zoo had a Penguin house, I decided on referring to it "The Stink Palace".

So are the Citizens of Buena Vista Street.

I'm eagerly anticipating the day they announce the "Race of the Snow Leopards" around the Tree of Life.

Come on, the Citizens of Hollywood are hysterical!

While you are very correct, Disneyland still blows WDW out of the water in terms of street entertainment.

Little Green MenMar 10, 2015

WDW has these still. MK has the Barbershop quartet, the piano player outside Casey's, the Mayor of Main Street. EPCOT has these in most World Showcase pavilions, from mariachi bands to Voices of Liberty and the Jammitors in Future World. While DHS has streetmosphere on Hollywood and Sunset.

I saw the practice for this in October! We were walking through Asia just between Yak and Yeti and Flights of Wonder and saw the macaws fly over and towards the tree of life. It was great.

This still takes place on a daily basis at a little Park out in California called *Disneyland*. :)

Agreed. I have accepted Guano Joe as my personal saviour.
