Did you hear about it? He dropped a bomb live on our morning show. We're talking about Minnow, the talking bird from the Seneca Park Zoo.

The school year is winding down, but that means activities are ramping up at the Seneca Park Zoo.   

Minnow is a performer in the Bird Show. Oliver the owl was also on hand this morning -- enjoying some mice! Both will be performing in the Bird Show at the zoo starting Memorial Day weekend.

What else is new at the zoo? There's a new pool for the African black-footed penguins.
