Obobee Bird

Experience our critically acclaimed street theatre shows featuring fantastic performances that are the perfect mix-and-mingle act. We present Pongo, an interactive walkabout act with an 8-foot Obobee bird puppet, who journeys to your event from another dimension with his shambolic owner, Bill, and a collection of strange and exciting creatures. It’s a hilarious and awe-inspiring spectacle with exquisite characterisation and seamless illusion.

Standing at 8 feet tall and allergic to feathers, our brightly-coloured Obobee bird is a true sight to behold. With a charming and cheeky personality, he captivates audiences of all ages. The animatronic bird travels with pet shop owner Bill, a salesman carrying the galaxy’s most extraordinary creatures in his backpack.

Our giant bird is a unique animatronic creation, custom-built for life-like animations, from the subtlest eyelid flutters to magnificent leaps and bounds. Accidentally transported to our world with his dimension-hopping pet shop, Bill must find a way back home... and if he can sell some creatures along the way, even better.

Prospective customers will be introduced to the 8-foot-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 inhabit, Bill’s shop. It's where quantum physics meets animal care.

This interactive street theatre act leaves an unforgettable impression; an experience often described as ‘spellbinding’. The witty and adorable bird enchants audiences of all ages, creating a unique and magical illusion. A heartwarming and magical walkabout show.
