The World’s Perfect Audience (1934)

Titles read: “The world’s perfect audience. A native of Australia, he’s the storyteller’s joy - he laughs to order...“ Australia. In a garden we see various shots of the Kookaburra bird or Laughing Jackass. He sits on a little perch and makes his distinctive call - it sounds like a laugh. A woman gets the bird to perch on her finger and coaxes him into singing again. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
