Meet our performers

Stilt Walkers

Watch in awe as Still Moon’s birds soar and swoop from up above! Our birds come in many shapes and sizes, from the itty bitty Northern Flicker to the stoic, endangered Whooping Crane. Hold onto your fries, or the pesky seagull will get ‘em! They like to travel in flocks, so don’t miss your opportunity to say hello and snag a photo before they spread their wings and fly away. Fun fact: many of our stilters made their own costumes!
