Join Bird Friendly Edmonton and the Edmonton Valley Zoo for a battle of laughs and likely very many bird puns!

Moderated by Belinda Cornish, an Edmonton based award-winning playwright, this event is bound to be a lively debate of sharply crafted comedic arguments and humorous avian related ad libs as three passionate bird enthusiasts debate for who they think should be the top bird in the Edmonton City Bird Vote.

The format will be part debate and part comedy competition, with the audience picking the winner of the evening. Who will the audience choose as the night's winner?

  • The clever and bold Black-billed magpie?
  • The gentle and shy Boreal Chickadee?
  • or The regal Blue Jay?

Audience members are encouraged to come ready for fun and dress up as one of the final three city birds with a costume, or if not a full blown costume, "Disney bounding" but for birds is strongly encouraged.
