Soaring into the Saint Louis Zoo is the new bird show “Winging It,” presented in partnership with World Bird Sanctuary. Birds will take the stage at the Lichtenstein Sea Lion Arena, at alternating times with Sea Lion Shows, on select dates from May 6 through Oct. 1, 2023.

In this amazing, free-flying presentation, a variety of exotic and native birds will demonstrate their natural abilities, and some will even soar over the audience. With the help of these fine feathered ambassadors, trainers will clear up fact from fiction about birds and their behaviors. The program will keep the guests on their talons with audience participation and pop quizzes, fun and fascinating conservation facts and tips on how people can help protect wildlife and animal habitats.

Nine birds from World Bird Sanctuary moved to the Zoo in early April with their trainers and will stay for the duration of the show season. Birds that may be seen in the shows include tawny eagle, turkey vulture, red-tailed hawk, American barn owl, black-crowned night heron, African grey parrot, Harris’s hawk, white-bellied stork and bald eagle.

Shows are:

Daily May 26 - August 20 at 9:15 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. (No 9:15 a.m. show on Tuesdays)

Saturdays and Sundays August 26 - October 1 at 9:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m.

Labor Day Weekend shows (September 2-4) shows will be held at 9:15 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m.

Winging It happens where the Sea Lion Shows take place - the Lichtenstein Seal Lion Arena and are approximately 20 minutes long. Admission is $3.95 per person for ages 2 and up, free for children under age 2.
