WISTFUL INNOCENCE is expressed by this fuzzy young pi- 

 quero languishing for a meal. Parental fidelity and responsi-

 battle fiercely to keep other youngsters from stealing food. On 

 two visits to the bird islands of Peru the Hancock expeditions 

 have accumulated excellent motion picture records.
