The Birds

 

These fantastical giant birds with their stunning fanned tails entertain and inspire audiences. Accompanied by Major Apus, the jungle explorer, they are a real treat for children and families.

 

Since his honourable discharge from the army Major Apus has been exploring deepest darkest Africa, he specialises in large unusual creatures, showing off his latest find, two giant albino peacocks.

 

He is quite a big softy and rather than kill and stuff his prizes he shows them off and encourages conservation. He traded his blunderbus for a giant net, “It creates a lot less mess, don’t you know, what!” he says. Although he is a seasoned explorer, he did get lost once in Kew Gardens!

 

The Birds are animated by sound effects reminiscent of a rare species from the tropical rain forest. From a distance, the Birds are impressive and magnificent, and close up, their detail is dazzling. They can also display amazing light effects for evening and night time performances. The Birds are 3m high and 3.2m wide.
