| Description: | BIRD DAY - In Australia. The Waverly School, Sydney, Australia. "'Bird Day' hatches out a real flock of imitators - and what a flock." L/S's of large group of school boys. The commentator informs us that the idea of 'Bird Day' is to instil the "young mind with a love of birds. L/S's of the all the boys doing an impression of the sound a Jackass makes (it sounds more like a yelling sound !). M/S of two boys imitating the sound of a magpie. C/U of young boy making a warbling sound, apparently this is supposed to be a Jackass calling its young. Several other shots of the boys performing other bird imitations, including an unidentified bird sound which a boy makes by whistling and plucking his bottom lip with his finger and also the sound of sparrows. | |
