Top Hogs, Dogs and Parrots - Performing pigs, dogs, birds, and cats.

SHOW DETAILS

All of TOP HOGS, DOGS & PARROTS animal performances are light-hearted comedy acts where the animals do amazing and funny behaviors with a little animal education and care thrown in. Each act is choreographed to music as the animals demonstrate their cleverness and intelligence. The shows are about the animals. The animals demonstrate more than one behavior per minute (over 40 behaviors in a performance). This is an "animal active" performance, not a "show and tell" demonstration. The shows are about the joys, wonders and intelligence of animals. The animals are never degraded, put in danger, or forced in any manner. They perform because they like the attention and the mental challenge. These are not circus acts and the animals are not dressed up. The shows rely on the flamboyant personalities and charisma of the animals. Many of their behaviors were actually created by the animals themselves. Mere words cannot begin to explain the animals' abilities - it must be experienced.

We have performed in front of crowds of over 5,000 and have over flowed performance theatres. TOP HOGS, DOGS & PARROTS are one of the largest draws at most fairs and festivals. And at indoor events, people are often turned away due to space limitations. TOP HOGS, DOGS & PARROTS also work extensively for film, advertising & television.
