SOAR, A Festival of Flight
SOAR, A Festival of Flight
Trained birds will soar, swoop, and dive as they perform aerobatic feats during the SOAR, A Festival of Flight show in ZooNorth. Hawks, owls, toucans, hornbills, ibises, ravens, eagles, and others demonstrate natural behaviors as they fly through the audience and interact with the host of the show.
Guests can expect to meet almost 20 species of birds. The shows start with fly-bys by several different species of birds. Keas, playful and intelligent birds from New Zealand, demonstrate recycling. Guests will see African pied crows pick pockets, Eurasian eagle owls taunting a shutterbug, a trumpeter hornbill catching flying objects, a red-legged seriema hunting, and African collared ravens collecting cash for conservation.
Guests also may see creatures that do not fly – African penguins – swimming in the pool at the front of the stage. They will also meet 6-foot American alligators.
