Transcript:

Who am I? My name is Gary. WAAD APN have asked me to give a presentation, that includes many photos I have taken, of the three species of WA black cockatoos. The presentation is on Sunday 17th November from 10am to 12 noon at the Deaf Connect Community Hall in West Perth. Come and see!

Description:

A man is standing sideways, on an oval with tall gum trees in the background, while looing through a camera with a very long lens. He "clicks" the camera, and an image pops up in the video, of three black cockatoo birds flying, each with distincitve tail feather markings in shades of red, orange and white. The man then turns to face the video and walks in closer to the screen. He signs (very clearly, in Auslan) the information given in the transcript. At the end of the vdieo, a dog runs past in the background, and the man holds up his camera again, to look through the lens, up towards the sky.
