film of birds flying to back dance performance

Good evening all.

The son of a friend is choreographing and dancing in a piece of work with Restless Dance Company, and is looking for footage of birds flying that could be projected behind the performers.

My friend writes: He has called it What Bird Is That? and it features seven Australian birds, the brolga, red tailed black cockatoo, wedge tail eagle, regent bowerbird, willie wag tail, lyrebird and white breasted sea eagle.

I have been trying to find open source footage of these birds, so it can be projected on the back of the stage- but haven’t had any luck. Birds flying and footage of iconic movement is what we are looking for. It is only a short dance piece _ about ten – twelve minutes, so we wouldn’t need much.”

Does anyone have footage that this young man could use? Penny says the film would be credited in the program, and she will als ensure the owner would get a copy of the dance piece as well”.

Thanks

With every introduction of a plant or animal that goes feral this continent becomes a little less unique, a little less Australian.
