"Think orange thoughts."
What does that even mean?

You ask that from a bird with a piece of fruit for a head and leaves for wings?

I love the ones that say "Nice", "Squeeze Me", & "Orange Bird". I'll very likely order the "Nice" one. I love the Florida Orange Bird! He's so adorable. Maybe this means that he'll come around again!

It would be cool to see tropical serenade back to it's original glory with orange bird back for the 40th anniversary of the park.

And have Anita Bryant as the sponsor for the Florida Citrus Growers and sing about the Orange Bird...

Anyone remember the plastic orange shaped cups they used to give out at the sunshine tree terrace? :wave:

I think my parents have two in the attic.

Would be interesting if he flew back to the Sunshine Tree Terrace. Not to mention Japan had used him since 2004...

Very interesting if he did that.


Knew that TDR used him in Merch, but where else?

I think that was about it. Maybe a costumed character, but I haven't heard or read about that.

"Little Orange Bird in the Sunshine Tree
Won't you think of something sunny just for me?
Think funny thoughts or sunny words
That will make me happy, little Orange Bird"

You'd think the Florida Cirtris Growers would use him still with and agreement with Disney..Heck if they wanted the can also Sponsor The Land Pavillion..It does have a Scent of orange in Soarin (Okay I know it's California but you know what I mean):lol:.

But they sure do sell alot of stuff for the little orange guy..Only in Japan..*sigh*

All you people think the Orange Bird is so cute and innocent, huh?
You don't know his dark secret.
I have evidence that said bird is a known associate of ANITA BRYANT
DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNN!
