Summary

Pathe synopsis: It is not unusual to find an airman whose hobby is something concerned with flying - but Flight Lieutenant Colin Russell is an exception, for he keeps his own private aviary of exotic tropical birds. They include rare Fisher’s lovebirds and plum-headed parakeets, which look much more attractive than they sound.
