Gastornis (Diatryma) Animatronic

This towering Gastornis animatronic recreates the giant flightless bird of the Paleocene with its massive crushing beak and powerful build. Dense gray-brown plumage, strong legs, and an imposing stance are crafted from scientific references, delivering a credible, visually striking figure. Servo-driven joints produce head dips, beak clacks, wing shuffles, and a heavy striding gait, while the sound package features deep booming calls and resonant throaty notes. The lightweight composite body and corrosion-resistant frame keep installation and transport simple for touring shows. Natural history museums, dinosaur parks, and educational centers use Gastornis to illustrate a world where birds, not dinosaurs, dominated the landscape. Its unusual silhouette and height make it memorable, photographing well and inviting questions from visitors.

Every Gastornis is covered by a 12-month warranty, a two-year spare-parts commitment and on-site installation support from our own engineers. Tell us your venue, theme and budget — we will tailor the size, movements, sound and finish to your project.
