Summary

Pathe synopsis: Customers get the bird at Flamingo Park Zoo in Yorkshire too. Real, live squawking parrots are the attraction here, where they’ve set up a unique classroom, a parrot school. But it’s not just a matter of learning parrot fashion, as the flighty birds prove by an intelligence test and all sorts of tricks, including their version of that old "the-quickness-of-the-hand-deceives-the-eye" fiddle, Find the Lady.
