    I'm from Papua New Guinea.. We are from the western part with almost all of the type of bird of paradise..My ancestors believed that when and if you caught a Bird of paradise dancing especially the black and blue one dancing to attract female, then you'll disappear and end up some where you've never been. It can be half way around the globe...
    People still believe this until today with the invasion of technology and civilization, it's fading.

    I knew about the sheer number of hours that went into capturing these sequences, but I had no idea that such an iconic sequence had such an emotional rollercoaster behind it! Thank you so much for sharing. I never would have expected the talent of David Attenborough to have career-saving magic!

    👏😁Wow! That's equally as amazing as the "birds of paradise" being the amount of prep & effort by the cameraman to capture these awesome events & shows the birds put on for each other😜👍 I'm even more appreciative & entertained now knowing what actually goes on behind the scenes of a lot of these nature channels. Honestly never realized that the best clips of these animals were achieved by them not even knowing at all any humans were around them; I figured that most of them were at some level just tolerant of the film crews & fairly comfortable around them.

    The inside of the males mouth is also colored ... i just find it amazing that the male, being ultra beautiful coupled with the drab female, that the chicks don't come out in muted colors! No mottled areas on the male... just fantastic!
    You couldn't tell very easily, but when the male has his wings up and puts his head on one 'shoulder' and then on the other 'shoulder'. What this video didn't show, is the bird will do that move over and over, again and again!
    Sad that the birds are hunted for their feathers... maybe conservation will happen one day!
    Thank you for the video, it was interesting to hear the 'behind the scene' actions. Carry your equipment, while tramping all over the jungle, just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea! So glad someone else drinks!

    Every effort by males to attract females is visually very impressive. Some even make particular noise with feathers (?). Doesn't that cause an undesired outcome from predators? There must be a little secret elaborated by nature as usual.
