Obobee Bird
Critically acclaimed street theatre shows with fantastic performances that really are the perfect mix and mingle act. We introduce, the interactive walkabout act Pongo, an 8-foot Obobee bird puppet, who travels to your event from another dimension with his shambolic owner, Bill and a menagerie of strange and exciting beasties. A hilarious and awesome spectacle of exquisite characterisation and seamless illusion.
8ft tall and allergic to feathers, our brightly-coloured Obobee bird is a sight to see. With a charming and cheeky personality, he will be a hit with audiences young and old. Our animatronic bird travels with pet shop owner Bill, a salesman with a collection of the galaxy’s most extraordinary creatures in his backpack
Our giant bird, is a unique animatronic creature, custom built to allow for life-like animations, from the subtlest fluttering of eyelids to his magnificent leaps and bounds. Having accidentally been transported to our world with his dimension-hopping pet shop, Bill must find a way home by any means possible... and if he can shift some stock on the way, so much the better.
Prospective customers will be introduced to the 8 ft. tall flightless bird, a mint condition Schrodinger's cat (which may or may not be in its original packaging) and a host of other critters that are cared for by, or otherwise infest, Bill. It’s where quantum physics meets animal husbandry.
This interactive street theatre act has an unforgettable effect; an experience often described as ‘spellbinding’. The witty, adorable bird enchants audiences of all ages and the unique illusion the act creates. A heart-warming and magical walkabout show.

" Everyone was in awe of them, they were great, people are still chatting about them now! … I thought it would be tougher to impress a crowd of 21 year olds, but they did an EXCELLENT job and really made my party that bit more special! "
