Summary

Pathe synopsis: Here’s a zoo where free-flying freedom is actually encouraged. Condors, eagles and falcons are trained to swoop among the cash customers who come to the Colwyn Bay Mountain Zoo in North Wales. It fascinated us to think that huge birds could be encouraged to enjoy such freedom and we weren’t disappointed watching the patience and understanding of falconer Robert Allen.
