I was randomly searching for the tiki room when i found this site. One of the people on it says that the original jose, michael, fritz, pierre, are mounted behind the newer birds.

Can this be possible? Does anyone have anymore information.
Not sure I am following. The original birds sit where? I can't see them behind the newer birds. ???
no not on the back of them. but the birds are like a row behind them from this report.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was so confused!! ha! Thanks for clarifying. Cool photos....looks like they were taken in 2002.Originally Posted by Titanfreak46
There are 4 birds.. 1 in each corner of the room that before the 2005 rehab looked very worn. These are older birds, very possibly the original 1963 birds. The main tiki birds had an approximatly 20 year life cycle. As one of the main Parrots (Jose, Michael, Pierre, Fritz) wore out, a new bird animatronic replaced him and that bird would move to he back row as a backround bird where their limited animation and ragged looks would not be as noticable.
Hope this helps!
A very sickly looking Jose!
so their still their?
Great post!There are 4 birds.. 1 in each corner of the room that before the 2005 rehab looked very worn. These are older birds, very possibly the original 1963 birds.

A very sickly looking Jose!I just wanted to note that the "backup birds" don't look that sickly any more. During the big pre-50th rehab, they re-feathered all the birds.
