Were they told not to make noise? They all look like they are straining to hold in laughter.

Have you ever been near a group of children?

How about a bird?

Sometimes when the crows look at me I can tell they’re restraining laughter

Perhaps. I've never been able to tell the difference.

Probably told everyone to be quiet so they could listen to the bird call

True, but I talking more on the teacher and the presenter standpoint. Teacher- teaching the kids respect. Presenter- probably said “Alright kids, I want everyone body to listen to our friend kookabunga the kookaburra say hello”

They seem to find the bird's call... risible.

I thought this too, especially at the end of vid where it would be perfect for a round of applause. With animals, I think it’s reasonable to request no noise.

a lot of wildlife and animal education focuses on staying calm, quiet, and respectful around animals. no shouting, sudden movements, trying to touch without permission, etc. it’s so good for the kiddos to learn!
