Credit: DisneyThe Feathered Friends in Flight! stage show at Walt Disney World Resort’s Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park looks a bit different than it did before the COVID-19 pandemic — when the show reopened, the Up! (2009) character performers were gone, but talented Cast Members remain, and they give Guests a delightful presentation on a daily basis.
During a performance on September 24, 2021, hilarity ensued when Cast Members Adam and Scott attempted to bring out one of the free-flying birds during the show.
The bird unexpectedly flew away with Scott’s microphone, leaving Adam to run the show by himself.

After a few brief moments of hilarious uncertainly, Adam ran the show with aplomb while Scott ran to get a spare headset from the show’s sound team.
It is important to remember that the avian creatures who star in Feathered Friends in Flight! are free-flying — this means they have free reign to do whatever they choose and go wherever during the performance.
You can view a full video of the amusing situation below:
