Every single Guest that rides Expedition Everest is guaranteed to see the infamous yeti animatronic as they zoom past him through the mountain. But, if you are lucky enough, you may also catch another secret animatronic — a bird!
If you are riding Expedition Everest and you are one of the lucky Guests, when you are stopped at the broken tracks, look to the left and you may spot a bird animatronic on a stick. According to one TikTok user, this bird was actually meant to fly over Guests’ heads while stuck at the broken tracks; however, that idea clearly never played out and instead, the bird will randomly appear on select rides — meaning only a few lucky Guests will be able to spot him!
TikTok user Colleen (@colleenlepp) shared a video to the social media platform showing the bird so you can see what you should look for on your next expedition to Mount Everest! You can check it out below or by clicking here.

More on Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The Walt Disney World website describes Expedition Everest as:
Wander into a Tibetan village at the base of Mount Everest and board a train to the “top of the world.”
Beware: Some say a legendary snow monster lives deep in the mountain.
After a steep ascent, your train picks up speed and races into the darkness. Without warning, a broken and twisted track appears in front of you. Brace yourself as you plummet backward into total darkness. Inside the cavern, the mythical tale comes true as you see the shadow of a massive, growling beast!
Race to escape the cursed mountain—before the Yeti claims another expedition.
