The Birdman Free Flight Birdshow

Join the Blank Park Zoo in welcoming Joe Krathwohl, better known as "The Birdman." His Free Flight Bird Show is appearing at the Zoo June 13 through July 26! The Birdman and his birds have made appearances all over the country, including numerous visits with David Letterman, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Animal Planet, The Discovery Channel and many other major television networks.

The show will feature many birds including an Andean Condor with an approximate wingspan of 10 feet. Other birds expected to be at the Zoo include a bateleur eagle, eagle owl, trumpeter hornbill, silver gulls, african crowned crane, sarus crane, emu, scarlet macaws, red fronted macaw, bare eyed cockatoo, rose breasted cockatoo, augur hawk, yellow naped and double yellow headed amazon.

"Guests will be amazed by these awesome birds and will learn about important efforts to protect them for future generations," said Krathwohl.

Krathwohl has been a professional bird trainer for over 25 years and he has also established the only educational free flight bird show in the popular resorts of Las Vegas. Through his work, Krathwohl is pursuing the conservation of Andean Condors through a breeding and releasing program.

"Its time to gather the whole flock and soar to the Zoo," said Mike Hubbell, interim CEO of the Blank Park Zoo.

There will be two shows daily at 1pm and 3pm and three shows on Saturdays & Sundays at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. The show is free with paid admission to the Zoo. The show will run through July 26.
