There are none of the mechanical props and clock movement bits of appaatus frequently depended upon to bolster up acts of this sort.
One of the features is a somersaulting cockatoo. The bird is placed upon a table with the trainer standing some distance away and without coaxing turns half a dozen flip flaps exactly as trained dogs are seen to do.
The rest of the tricks are neat and of good variety. The offering is a novelty in its class.
