Summary

Pathe synopsis: At his local pub, The Crown and Sceptre, landlord Reg Cook puts his performing parrot through his paces. You can whirl it round on a pencil, play catch-ball with it and it never flutters a wing. It will freeze in any position and pick up its favourite bottle of beer by its crown cork.
