Jul. 2013 - Wings of Wonder - Hornbill Accident

One lucky member from the audience was chosen to have an Abyssinian Ground Hornbill fly right over his head for a somewhat dramatic experience. All went wrong when the hornbill flew too low, and caused the guest to fall backwards into the show pool!

It's staged, Moebelle. The same thing happened when I saw the show. That same guy comes back out at the end of the show and displays and takes about a Kookaburra.

I was going to edit it and say it might be staged because otherwise they wouldn't have chosen an adult to come down.
 
They stole the part of the guest falling in the pool from the bird show at Dallas Zoo. I wonder if the same people put this one on? (I suspect they do).
 
Or maybe they stole it from Cincy;) It depends who started their shows first.

When the shows were started means nothing because either zoo could easily have change theirs slightly to include this. I doubt this act is exclusive to either zoo anyway.

@ArizonaDocent- Does Dallas do this with an Abyssinian Ground Hornbill as well?
