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.

Inquisitive, affectionate, adorable and cheeky; the world's only eight-foot baby Obobee bird is loved by adults and children alike for his charming personality and stunning appearance. Eccentric pet shop owner Bill, a travelling salesman with a menagerie of the galaxy’s most extraordinary creatures, accompanies this playful little hatchling.

Pongo, is a unique animatronic creature, custom built to allow for life-like animations, from the subtlest fluttering of Pongo’s 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 an 8 ft. tall flightless bird that is allergic to feathers, a mint condition Shroedringer'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 totally heart-warming and magical walkabout show.
