Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Birds of paradise are one of David Attenborough's lifelong passions. He was the first to film many of their beautiful and often bizarre displays, and over his lifetime he has tracked them all over the jungles of New Guinea. In this very personal film, he uncovers the remarkable story of how these 'birds from paradise' have captivated explorers, naturalists, artists, film-makers and even royalty. He explores the myths surrounding their discovery 500 years ago, the latest extraordinary behaviour captured on camera and reveals the scientific truth behind their beauty: the evolution of their spectacular appearance has in fact been driven by sex.
'For me birds of paradise are the most romantic and glamorous birds in the world. And this is a film I have wanted to make for 40 years.' - Sir David Attenborough.
David Attenborough is repeatedly upstaged by an excited Greater Bird of Paradise.

When you are trying to make a documentary but David Attenborough keeps interrupting you
When you're trying to pick up chicks and some old guy keeps interrupting your mating dance.
Nice one!
LOL

"and so we see da hooman make them flappy sounds while pointing his talon at me. Dis is common behavior for hooman, dey flap mouth lots when in front of big lens boxes."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 funny
David seems to love every minute of the bird interrupting him, knowing that the bird is the real star of the show. That's why we love David.
😄 David was cool and soooo patient... I think the cameraman was cursing up a storm. 😅
I agree!
@@laurab9867 You can hear the cameraman laughing at the end, after "woo hoo" 1:04
I wonder if he was afraid of being bird bombed.
The bird was taling about political correctness in 6 different languages.
I love how he just responds with "Very well" and "woo hoo"s along with the bird 😂❤
LoL 😆 me too
I think the bird is doing a documentary on Attenborough

Ah. A horny bird from the Sims universe ;)
For those who don’t speak Bird of Paradise, he’s saying: “HOLY SH*T EVERYONE I’M GETTING INTERVIEWED BY DAVID ATTENBOROUGH I’M GONNA BE FAMOUS!”
You are right! Very well said!
So thats why they bleeped it
You mean “HOLY BIRD SH*T”
"And that's grand and all...but I just wanna get laid!!"
And the bird even punctuated it with a “woohoo!” at the end!
David studied and obsessed over this rare bird as a child. LONG before there was ever even footage of these birds. He’s literally living his childhood dream.
❤❤❤❤❤
Well if you have dumb dreams you can live em easier

How the hell does David Attenborough always get so close to animals without them running away? It’s like they can sense how pure a soul he is
A looot of patience i suppose
Ikr. They even let him touch them.
Theyre like "oh its just sir David." 😅
They're not actual wild animals, they're zoo animals etc that'd have a lot of experience around people
It's an interview. David emails the animals ahead of time.
@@patrickhector Oh, thank you, Patrick 😒
I am convinced that it is David Attenborough's love and respect for nature that keeps him strong and healthy as he approaches 100 years of age
1000
That and modern medicine
His banking account helps (and the BBC of course)
I didn't even realize he was that old. That man has really lived the life.
But Goddamn. He's aged EXTREMELY well. Most people at 95 have lost their hair, mental acuity, it's good to see Attenborough still up and running. Cheers to a few more good years Sir.
He's clearly an elf

@@Sg2908 why would He be a pedophile?
@@dra1nwat3r Because in the case of birds, chicks would be baby birds, making them underage for adult birds.
Yep i know that pedo sound when i hear one
That bird is like "Omg guys I just found the elusive David Attenborough!!! Guys, quick... come look!! He's right here!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂 exactly,,, hey look at this old guys hair.
😂
I love how that bird really could have gone anywhere. I see nothing stopping it from leaving that branch. And yet he continues dancing and singing for the camera.
Literally what I was thinking! This bird is literally just hanging out with David and his team 🤣
The bird is constantly practicing his routine, and often seems to like having an audience.
Drama queens (and kings) love an audience.
No one:
Bird: WAHWAHWAHWAHWAH
David: Very well
So respectful! 🤣
When you type "no one: ", that is a double negative meaning no one said nothing which is the equivalent to someone said something or "someone: *something* "
AeroSpace dude have you ever seen this meme format and for the most part people like myself don’t care too much about punctuality or grammar when joking or making comment/text
i read this comment and that very moment he said it lol

I for one think this is a stupid trend, and am tired of simpletons flooding EVERYTHING with that stupid shite.
When you finally get to see Sir David Attenborough in person...
IKR XD My thoughts exactly
Whoo Hoo👍🏼
"Notice me senpai!"
yeah man that bird wss clowning out for sure
Id do the same thing
“He called it Hoo Hoo, haha”
-Sir David Attenborough
The bird doesn't interrupt Sir David. The bird is just happy and senses that Sir David is no theat because he gives vibs that He loves and respect nature.
"I'm about to interrupt this man's whole career..."

Let’s not forget this man was the mentor of Steven Irwin. I can not think of a better person for such a role then Attenborough himself.
Come on, all you snowflakes and millenials worshipping a boomer. He is just a regular naturalist nothing special. You need to think about nature, not the journalist.
i love how he stops speaking to let the bird squawk. how respectful
my favourite bit is when the bird wants to be called woohoo
That seamless timing is priceless

@Tidder T Newsflash: Scientists rename Bird of Paradise "paradisaea apoda" to "woohoo woohoo" after hearing protests from species.
@@lezonwhitworth5033 it's not a coincidence, probably you saw it for a reason, it happens to me as well :/
And thus shall it be called.
He's not even mad, he's just smiling. It's so cute
It's a bird. It knows what's good.
WOULD YOU BE MAD ABOUT IT???
Have a read of his autobiography and you'll understand why! He spent years trying to get close enough to birds of paradise to film them and the part in the book where he finally gets to is just 🤌
@T H I'LL TURN DOWN THE CAPS KEY ONCE YOU FIX THIS DAMNED DOOR!
He's just awe inspired and entranced by just how many sounds that bird is capable of and I don't blame him.
At this point, Mr. Attenborough should be named the world's living treasure.
There are few people on this earth that have the love, respect, reverence and appreciation for the natural world like David Attenborough.
I love how Attenborough was waiting for the bird to finish talking
I agree. . Don't talk while I'm interrupting. 😄
@Theopisti Panagiotakou hahahh I was gonna say the bird is way louder than his narration but I guess I cant deny he is a great man.
True British good manners...
“TELL THEM I HAVE LEGS!!! TELL THEM I HAVE LEGS!!!!!”
AHAHAH
i’m done-
jsjajaj
MASONIAN evolution created it ... 😱😂😂😂😂😂. Glory and praise to the Lord of heaven and earth JESUS for a beautiful creation !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Birds of paradise are just so goofy and beautiful, that “woohoo” lmao 😭😭❤️❤️
Thank you Sir David and BBC for showing us this planet's beautiful nature.
*bird interrupts*
David: "Very well..."
LOLOL
J M O I legit lol nice one
😆 best part
Daaaamnnnn i read this exactly at the time he said it 🤣 what are the odds
An actual gem.
I love how David talks about the bird so majestically....meanwhile..
The bird: WOOHOO 🤣
😂😂
🤣
😂😂😂
its his name dude
Mr. Attenborough's patience and gentleness with animals is incredible. Even that this bird was so loud, he still was laughing, smiling, and even mimicking voice of the bird. So incredible 😁
"Its scientific name is Paradisaea apoda."
"I want my name to be Woohoo."
"Alright, Woohoo, whatever, I don't care. Just, you know just do what I tell you."
yes, i heard that sentence at the end of the video kind of as well.

How would getting angry help this situation?
Why would he get angry?
@@saravanroosbroeck5414 Well most times getting angry won't help a situation but people still get angry all the time.

So much love showing by the bird. The bird is dancing and very happy with David Attenborough. The real heaven❤
In fairness, if David Attenborough did a documentary on me I'd be bouncing around screaming as well.
Really though, who wouldn't?
The man's love of nature is infectious.
Phils Ear Amieisnotonfire dnp!!!!
I'm no bird but I think I can translate what he was saying:

The bird of paradise is now called a woohoo, this is not up for debate
Yeah I agree because the bird said so.
sadkremmit it’s a Pokemon know.
I think that's just that guys name
Just this particular species.
Don't forget his last name, which is also Woohoo
❤😂❤😂❤😂 I love David Attenborough’s connection with nature, especially with the animal kingdom!
He was the voice of documentaries that I hear? I didn't know. I love his voice
"Very well..." And Sir David never loses concentration nor patience. The consummate professional
Prawdziwy pasjonata :)
I would never lose my patience in the presence of such beautiful creatures
You mean he never allows there to be a record of him losing his concentration or patience. You are not able to assume your statement with the only source coming from the person in question.
@@VodShod the man doesnt seem like the type of man to lose patience, with an animal. and look at him, he's having fun
he laughs at 1:05 tho. hilarious
"Very well" Britishness exemplified
Lol
Nope. It's just him. 😊
What a great man who lives a great life. Miss seeing him.
That bird is an absolute show stopper, beautiful, and hilarious.
Good old David gives him commentary. Beautiful
That bird is freaking out over meeting David Attenborough
I love how he says "very well" when it interrupts him at one point. He's such a delight to watch interact with animals because he respects them so much.
I totally lost it at "very well". One of the most British things I've ever seen.
Nothing about respecting animals.

The most lovely person on earth! Sending good energy. Live long!
David Attenborough having a conversation with the bird of paradise, is a more suitable title 😊
It was so nice of David Attenborough not to interrupt the bird's lecture.
He was just translating
It's important that the bird gives his species' perspective on this.
Well, it is a documentary.. we viewers who switched to a program revolving around birds and animals in general sure would like to see, watch and observe all that is associated with the star of the episode.. David, the host comes next and they did put the right man in the right place for it.
David Attenborough: **trying to educate the world about the beauty of nature**
Bird of Paradise: I’m going to have to stop you right there
mueez adam Lol!
*Bird* : "I'm about to end this man's whole career"
@Stephen Murphy wut?
"the world" hahahahahaaaaaa
I love when animals are trying to look intimidating but just look goofy as heck lol
But that bird is not at all trying to look intimidating. It’s displaying for a nearby female.
He's totally trying to attract a mate, not look intimidating.
lmaoooo they’re so clueless
He is trying to F.....k, thats one of the Birds of Paradyse mating ritual.
I have a book that David Attenborough wrote when he was in his twenties, about his voyage to New Guinea and the Komodo Islands. Naturally, the Birds of Paradise were the stars of the show, but he also detailed the head dresses that the New Guinea Tribesmen would make out of their feathers, how they hunted them (hunting techniques) and how they almost hunted some species to extinction! These tribesmen would frequently make a head dress using the feathers of dozens of birds, then discard it after only few or even just one ceremonial use!
I am so glad that the New Guinea Tribesmen did not hunt these amazing birds to extinction, and that, after all these years, David Attenborough is still telling the World about them
P. S. His documentation of the life of the Komodo Dragons was also a riveting read, about how they would lay in wait for their prey, then spring out from the undergrowth, bite it, then follow it for days until the unfortunate beast collapsed from Septic Shock.
Very interesting.
If you can find this book, I'd highly recommend it.
"AWH AWH AWH AWH AWH!"
"...Very well."
Keep your secrets
I laughed so hard at the "very well" ... wonderful.
BIRDterrupted!

And what was happening was that it wanted to get bu-say! XD
This voice should never disappear from the universe.
With A.I. it now never will, we have days worth of audio of Attenborough’s voice. Of course it would never be the same as the real deal.

Paradisaea apoda or the Greater bird-of-paradise are found on the Indonesian side of New Guinea. Another member of the Paradisaea genus, Paradisaea raggiana or the Raggiana bird of paradise is found on the Papua New Guinea side of the island, and they are actually the country's national bird. The nickname of country's national rugby league team is after the bird of paradise, the Kumuls, which is bird of paradise in Tok Pisin (an English creole language)
