Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Several shots of the stately home and grounds of Waddesdon Manor. Outside the Victorian aviary we see a cockatoo; two macaws (parrots) are fed nuts and grapes by Vincent Lilley and Brigadier Cowan. Several shots inside the aviary of Mynah birds; one is sitting on a Lew Robert’s head; he shows one on his arm to children outside the wire enclosure. We also see a Golden Pheasant and a Mandarin Duck.
