The Showgirl Birds also known as the Winged Wahines are a group of characters from Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, connected to the lore of the Jungle Cruise.
Description[]
The Showgirl Birds are a group of intelligent, singing white cockatoos who perform in the Enchanted Tiki Room of Polynesia. All of the showgirl birds are female with French names and accents and are best known for singing, "Lets all sing like the birdies sing" along with the four masters of ceremony, doing impressions of 20th century singers (José imitates Bing Crosby, Michael imitates Louis Armstrong, and Pierre imitates Maurice Chevalier). The master-of-ceremony José had a flirtatious relationship with the performers.
