Various shots of a flock of flamingos in a parkland setting. Scenic shots of the park. L/S of the entrance to "Parrot Jungle". A woman stands with her arms held out and several large parrots are balanced on her arms. Her boyfriend films her with a cine camera. C/U of her looking slightly worried as the birds perch on her.
Various performing birds are seen , first a parrot that places different shaped wooden pieces in the right shaped slots in a board. Then a parrot who has been taught how to propel a little lorry upon which he sits. A cockateel (?) slides down a miniature slide. A parrot walks on a rolling barrel. A cockateel rides a bike along a tightrope. Two parrots pull little carts along which have toy figures inside them (probably characters from the "Peanuts" cartoons.
Aerial views of the Seaquarium. C/U of a sign which reads: "See World Famous Flipper Daily in Our Regular Shows." We see a glamour girl in swimsuit playing with some dolphins at the Seaquarium. She "shakes hands" and feeds the dolphins. Man in wet suit steps into a tank, underwater shots of him feeding fish.
Note: some cuts for this story exist on tape *PM0473*.
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
