ORANGE BIRD IS BACK!!!

Ok, who remember the Orange Bird??? 
Back when Walt Disney World was just one park in a big empty wilderness south of Orlando, there was a strange bird with a head shaped like an orange that bobbed about the Magic Kingdom.

The Orange Bird was actually a creation unique to the Florida theme park in conjunction with the Florida Citrus Growers' sponsorship of the original incarnation of the WDW-version of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, an attraction that existed in California's Disneyland.

Orange Bird merchandise has already been available at the park for some time, but today, D23 representatives announced that the live character would make its return to Adventureland.

According to the Disney Parks blog, the bird greeted families at Sunshine Tree Terrace, which also hocked citrus drinks and Orange Bird gifts. The Orange Bird was gone from Walt Disney World by 1981. Now more than 30 years later, the Orange Bird will return to the signage for the Sunshine Tree Terrace and also on "quirky drink cups."
