The natural world is full of colours. For us, they are a source of beauty, but for animals they are a tool for survival. David Attenborough reveals the extraordinary ways in which animals use colour: to win a mate, to fight off rivals and to warn enemies.

The fact that birds know theyre beautiful without ever seeing theirselves is quite something
💯
i believe they can see themselves in the water (and on the glass buildings).
not sure that the birds know they are beautiful. What is knowing? Natural selection selected for fitness. Beauty and mating rituals are a mere proxy to indicate fitness. There is some correlation between having the spare energy to be elaborately displaying superfluous parts of oneself, and fitness. That is all.
They can see themselves in the water tho
You know that when they see "themselves" in their reflections, they think its a friend or just another bird that wants to play? They totally dont know its themselves every single time.
Those birds didn't come for the sugar. They came for the David Attenborough!!! Love him so much. 💜
Awww 🥰 I love 💕 your comment and I believe you are correct because Sir DA is a gentle kind man and animals seem to sense that so they don’t run away from him !!! Have you seen him when he does his video with a Bird of Paradise ? The bird is absolutely stunning and beautiful and it doesn’t fly away !!! It simply stands on a branch next to Sir David Attenborough but every time he wants to speak the bird screeches and won’t let Sir D A speak !!! It’s absolutely priceless !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
@@tenmiltenmil1770 I have NOT seen it and am off to search for it after I thank you! 💜💜💜 😊
@@tenmiltenmil1770 THAT WAS FANTASTIC! Thank you!!
Yes,David is one of the lovers of nature know all over the world, as beautiful is the hummingbirds so is the beauty of David heart.
@@anuradhainamdar8967 ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
huge props to camera crew for capturing this, I never knew this existed
Agreed. This hummingbird film footage is really amazing. First time I've ever seen the male extend his throat feathers in such a way to attract a female. Film crew must have had so much patience to film these few mioments. Awesome!
💯
This was incredible!! I see hummingbirds everyday, as I put out food for them, but I've never seen this display
@@malloryg4251 This is a Costa's hummingbird, only found in the southwest US and Mexico, so you probably won't see it.
@@malloryg4251 What species do you have? We have Broad Tailed and Black Chinned, and the occasional Rufous.
He looks likes he's sporting a tiny, glittering, purple octopus on his head, so cute!
That's what the lady bird was thinking too
GLITTER BEARD!!!
The very best nature commentator of all time. Sir David Attenborough.
David, you make everything dazzling✨💚💜💙✨
You can feel the romance between the two hummingbirds🥰
I swear to everything that Sir David Attenborough is the professor we all wanted to have in college or school.
Strong agree. By the way, I like your name!
Lmao
Had a prof like him. People would try their best to get in his classes. I was lucky to have him for 2 semester. But he was a frail old man. He only teach half the semester both time because he was sick.
@@arthurlouis8326 I feel sorry for you and your teacher. I hope he had wonderful moments with you during classes.
@@elainejohnson796 I agree.
WHAT DOES PLANET EARTH DO WITHOUT A DAVID ATTENBOROUGH?
Boy did he show his true colours!
Imagine your grandfather telling you stories with his voice
Luckily my grandfather was like that! He used to tell me stories to get me to eat my food lol. Miss those days
"Child, sit as I regale the tale of how I courted your grandmother. It was an extraordinary event, both beautiful and majestic."
I trust him
Sir David Attenborough is 97 y.o. thank you for amusing us for years with your insights.
They are such beautiful and dainty little birds. It makes one forget the woes of this world and remember just how incredibly fortunate we are to be apart of such a beautiful landscape and how seriously we need to take our responsibilities when it comes to safeguarding Mother Nature’s Garden.
Time to reveal my colors.
*sparkl*
Yes, but yet... our level of ruthless consumption won’t stop! & is treating life as a whole on our beautiful earth
@@starmirzai906 no one cares
@@jen_sen8508 I do it for the ones that do :)
@@starmirzai906 no one is going to read a wall of text that you spam on TH-cam comments. good work on driving people away with a bad impression 👍
Don't you dare to die before me, David Attenborough
The quality of the film is uncanny
Produced by a government owned TV channel.
@@TheDoowllams Yes!! Publicly funded!!!
You mean it does not resemble a can? Sorry lost.
@@wernerschott6894 Are you being serious? Uncanny means that something is strange, mysterious, extraordinary, etc.
@@wernerschott6894🤭🤣
David Attenborough is the grandpa of the entire world and he tells us the best stories in the world.
The female hummingbird be singing, "I see your true colors shining through...".
✨🥰✨
No
The name David Attenborough has turned into a complete ASMR for me.......such is the mesmerisation.
Male Bird: Eyyyyy~
Female: Who are you?
Male: *Flashes sparkly colors*
Female: You make a pretty good point
The male put the female in a trance with his beauty and it was love at first sight
I’d like to say this mans voice is God given
yes indeed his voice is given by God which he disbelieves unfortunately
@@az6877 lol
The sweetest Love story I ever saw
Praise be to the designer and creator of the humming bird....its his might this are possible
David Attenborough is the sexiest man alive! He is beautiful inside and out. He cares about our brothers the animals and the trees. I adore him!
I never knew male hummingbirds can do that.. What a beautiful creature.. Huge props to the camera crew 👍👍.. Thank you for capturing this beautiful footage and educating us more on nature..
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the incredible work of the men and women behind the camera. Shots like these must have taken an incredible amount of persistence, experience and skill.
The epic voice of attanborough is outclass
I cant think of anything more beautiful.
I hope I will live amongst them in Heaven.
Absolutely gorgeous footage of beautiful birds. If you get the chance to see hummingbirds in person do it.
They are truly magical little creatures!
Yeah I saw them in my garden
Plant more native flowers and they will come!
Here in Brazil my boyfriend used to put sugar water for them, but they get trapped in the house sometimes, and would get confused with the window glass, they would get so exousted trying to get out and no longer be able to fly, and then I could pick them up, they literally nap for a while, some accept a drink then fly away, it was truly magical to me, but I asked my boyfriend to stop putting sugar water because in a few occasion some of them would panic and hit the glass really hard, and it felt wrong to attract the poor creatures, also the bees were taking over very aggressively, now I grow basil in a pot, and the bees loves the basil flowers and for some reason the bees are not aggressive with flowers the way they are with sugar water, I love nature and to me love also means respect.
Sorry about the long text I just wanted to tell my experience. 😇
@@Apelles42069 they can be very picky with flowers. ☺️
I have a case full of nature DVDs narrated by him that I've been watching since kindergarten and they never get old and I learn so much. That man's voice and style are amazing!
I have some of his, too. I also grew up listening to him. And if a video pops up narrated by him I nearly always watch it.
My now 3yr old granddaughter insists on listening to "Mister Sir David" every night before bed (after she reads books). ❤
BBC + Sir Attenborough = Extra ordinary
Thanks David. Patrząc na Naturę, obcując z nią człowiek się uspokaja i znajduje nieco radości.
It's a privilege to listen to Sir David Attenborough but we often forget about the camera team behind such an extraordinary footages. Sir David Attenborough lucky to have such a team. Simply expectacullar !!
I remember seeing hummingbirds all the time in Jamaica 🇯🇲
The hummingbird otherwise called the doctor bird is Jamaica's national bird
@@oneilbuchanan8377 Really? Doctor bird? Any particular reason why? Is it because of the medival doctor masks?
Came here for David Attenborough... Praying for his long life, good health and passion! He is just as needed as those flying jewels!
In this very difficult times, Sir David Attenborough has been just the tonic needed to relax, block out the insanity and look beyond to a better world going forward... I hope. He is such a stress-reliever. Thank you Sir David for who you are and what you do...blessings ✨❤️✨
Who was smiling while watching the romance?
I did more than a smile 😉
@@meemo.86 not your proudest?
Didn't smile that time but your comment make me smile 😁😂
@@qwertynaughty3256 😀I am glad that u were smiling and I am laughing, because I am happy that you smiled😇.

Beauty of humming bird
Wow...
You're gay
@@malachitegreen2413 you yourself are gay not me understand
We have narrators then we have David Attenborough. Very good at telling stories.
“Yeah if you wants this then u better work”
- the humming bird
Gorgeous 😯 have never seen such feathers on a hummingbird before
well then you are not a female hummingbird - they get stuff like this in their DMs every day :D
@@samuelwestknee7134 or a male
Damnnn nature. You crazy beautiful thing ❤
David Attenborough....stellar as always...
Hummingbirds are the jewels of the Americas.
This guy voice should be as an AI when he leave us.
I love David, I could listen to him 24 hours a day 7 days a week. He has the nicest voice.
true
After watching this video, I can finally die in peace... Thank you BBC for this amazing video
Wow the photography is unbelievable
Love his voice.
I just love listening to David Attenborough. So eloquent and soothing at the same time. And his childlike fascination is so endearing.
What a photography!!!!!
Mr Attenborough you are a gift to the world.
This is heart warming
I love falling to sleep listening to one of David's documentaries.
tried various hummimg bird feeders for 20 years with limited success
one year i planted a morning glory and boom hummimgs birds every day
they LOVE the flowers . now I grow morning glories every year
That’s so cool, the first year I planted morning glories outside was the first year I’d ever seen a hummingbird in my garden in Wisconsin! They must really like morning glories💕
the Hummingbirds wow is that Legendary Sir David Attenborough! lets pretend we like the nectar to have a closer look!
He has such a kind, soothing voice. Instantly feels like a friend or family member you trust.
Makes me think of my grandpa, he has a great and soothing voice too but he doesn't talk too much, just let's others do the work and chimes in occasionally. Wish I could get him to read a story or something for an audiobook for personal use over time for memories and for if my sister or I ever have kids so they can have something of the great man after he is gone.
Those creatures take the word "Love Birds" to a whole different level lol ❤️
:')
Hummingbirds are air gems
Amazing creation! Thank God
Impressing the ladies seems universal on this planet, whichever species your are. 😎

Splendid having Sir David Attenborough narrating a hummingbird romance :-D
O mighty God,how can someone be ethiest after seeing this magnificent creature.
Quite easily
@@ElleLillian Evolution is incredible.
Oh my goodness, what colours 😍🥰
David Attenborough's voice is what relaxation sounds like
Did not grew up with a cable t.v (im outside the U.S). But When I get a chance to watch I always look for animal documentaries narrated by Mr. David Attenborough. His way of speaking is legendary.
They literally make themselves look like shimmering flowers.
Beautiful and amazing birds.
What! I see those birds all the time, and I truly didn't realize they do that! Thanks for the post, BBC
The sweetest love story I ever saw.
This man has THE best voice!..
Female hummingbird: "Should i, should i not...?"
Male hummingbird: "Girl im suffering!"
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
When a hummingbird has more glam than you.......
David Attenborough is real life’s narrator.
He is the best..Respect from Trinidad and Tobago

Through Sir DA I learned the beauty in all living creatures and animals and to admire and respect them !!! I saw my first hummingbirds here in Puerto Rico two years ago in 2019 and I’ve been living in Puerto Rico since I retired and moved here in September 2011 !!! I was was feeding my chickens about one hour earlier than I do that day and I saw a very rapid grey cloud 3 feet by four feet swish to my left and I didn’t know what it was because it happened so fast the next day and for about 3 more weeks nothing but then again I had an early appointment in town so I feed my chickens one hour earlier and there it happened again and I realized it was the timing so the next morning very early I set up my camera and caught it on film and as I watched it in very slow motion it seemed like hundreds of tiny sparrows !!! I didn’t know !!! Anyway a bit ways across from me is a fire department but no police station so I went to them and showed them the video and they told me that was about 75 to a hundred Puerto Rican hummingbirds so I did the research and I brought equipment for them to feed and bath in so now they have settled on my farm but they drink so much sap that I have Fifteen feeders hung from trees which I have to clean and refill daily but it’s worth it because they are so tiny and beautiful and no bigger than a 1/2 size of a thumb !!! So now I’m not an old retired lady with cats and chickens anymore I have my hummingbirds , my firemen friends and cows and I make mozzarella cheese and different cheeses from their milk which I learned to make in Sicily and my firemen friends get fresh cheese and milk every day so I’m full of life again thanks to my teeny tiny Puerto Rican hummingbirds !!! Love 💕 and Peace ☮️ to all and stay safe from COV19 !!! P.S. I also learned to speak Spanish and I’ve taught the firemen English as some only spoke Spanish and the others spoke broken English !!! Life can be beautiful when you get old after all !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗😉😉😉☮️☮️☮️💕💕💕💗💗💗💖💖💖💝💝💝🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
David Attenborough has not passed away...
@@renataminas9313 thank you for sharing this information !!! I will look it up further because the BBC on March 2020 reported that Sir DA had passed away at the age of 93 in his sleep Born 1926 Died 2020 !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
@@renataminas9313 I checked it out and 4 months ago at age 94 Sir DA was interviewed by Simon Cowel and 5 months ago at age 94 he was interviewed by 60 minutes and the new film he is working on ! So how could the BBC have said that he died on March 2020 age 93 !!! I’m going back to the BBC news and leave a comment asking why they said he was dead when he is still alive !!! Once again Thank you ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Mozzarella con latte di bufalo o di baca?
I could listen to this man 'til the end of the world
Amazing 👍😍🤩😍😍🤩 rest in external peace drea Mr. Attenborough 🙏🙇🙌🙏🙇🙌
The smallest avian dinosaurs of all.
it not a dinosaur it is a true avian or bird
@@MuhammadAbdullah-ii6ui Birds are dinosaurs.
@@TheHUhelps sorry but you really need to study taxonomy. prehistoric birds and reptiles were ancestors of the dinosaurs
@@MuhammadAbdullah-ii6ui Sorry mate but you're simply wrong on this one. Google 'Are birds dinosaurs?' You'll then get the education that you claim I need.
@@MuhammadAbdullah-ii6ui birds are indeed the closest living relatives of dinosaurs.
I like David Attenborough he’s awesome
That is the most magnificent moustache I've ever seen! 😍
These birds are just .. the cutest ☺️
Much much love and respect to David Attenborough. and our blue planet Earth. with its creatures
Nothing better than watching David Attenborough narrate a video on my favorite animals: birds! It’s so cool how male hummingbirds all have different mating displays. Gorgeous shots of these little Costa’s!
Beautiful, little miracles.
hummingbirds - pioneers of the steady cam
Such a peaceful voice.
His voice is truly a wonderful worldly treasure!
BBCs are the best
I give credit to the BBC for the seemless photoshopping they do to put him next to this animal that animal, this place that place, and the sychronisity of the audio as well... well done, bravo.
That does it - hubby better show his true colours to me - didn't get any of those bright colourful dancing either...lol
I just want to be his friend. He seems so interesting.
Awww 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️
Yeah 😉😂
Stay healthy Mr. Attenborough !
What a Magnificent Video! The Sheer Beauty of these tiny Birds, is Amazing! This is one Video, that I will never forget! Thank You!!!
