A new species of bird of paradise has been hiding under our noses. This is the male Vogelkop superb bird of paradise, found in Western New Guinea. It was originally thought to be the same bird as the famous "smiley face" superb bird of paradise. Recent observations show that their courtship characteristics are different. The Vogelkop's black cape is less oval, and its blue breast feathers look more like a "frowny face." Its courtship dance is less bouncy when it circles a potential mate. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has been conducting an eight-year-long Birds-of-Paradise Project.

That's a good footage. The way it control its feathers is intriguing.
I never get tired of seeing this beautiful bird doing his mating dance,so cute n kinda funny.
The Emoji birds of paradise are rapidly evolving 😁
It litterly means Birdhead in Dutch
Well, you forgot to put INDONESIA there. 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
*Half Peacock, half birb and a little bit of Toothless*
A little?
More like a whole lotta
Beck let me smash
@Mercury toothless is a dragon from 'how to tame a dragon' lol
birb?
join da birb fan groop oof
Im imagining a bunch of these birds and just starts dancing around a random animal like some weird cult
😂😂😂 hahah
*how dare you sleep with Becky I was supposed to smash*
Its bloody creepy
It'd be awesome!!!!
The new Minecraft parrot dance.

Since birds can see UV light, this guy probably appears more magnificent to her than we can see!

The other bird was like *wtf is wrong with this guy...*
It looks absolutely traumatized XD i mean i would be too
Plus it danced on the other one’s back lmao
hahaha😂
Gsfggg Xdjoh a form of attracting its mate is dancing...stupid. A lot of creatures use dance as a form of attraction. Rather it be luring prey and or possible mates. Even humans use this as a form to attract mates. STOoopID

"Vantablack"

Q
This bird scares me yet amazes me about how beautiful it is
Exotic pokemon
This scares you 😂 ..weak
@@vishnuprakash2581You’ve gotta agree though that it’s at least a little unnerving. Its pitch black feathers with dots that look like two glowing eyes-this is a real animal in nature, that makes itself look like something that should NOT be in nature
And amazes me how scary it can be
Lol
Like imagine being that other bird - this thing going in my face and on me
Thatd be scary
Those eyes, it belongs in the next AVATAR movie
Wonder World Lol yeha
Underrated comment. Wait It's overrated!!
Hmm
Real natives aren't vegan.
It's eye feathers
"aye girl you wanna mate?"
**busts out some sweet dance moves**
hey becky! wanna SMASH
This is every Bollywood movie in a nutshell
Night fury in how to train your dragon 2 lol
I got you your 1k like. Your welcome. Have a great day 😃
No it was the :Oh Sh A female , its a mothfackin female!
So beautiful ! The photographer must have been so delighted with filming this rare find!
The plumage of magnificent black and torquoise, and the lemon yellow mouth are exquisite. Nature outdid herself here.
It looks less like a bird, More like a pokemon
What do you think was inspiration for pokemon?
Thats a dark pidgeot 😁
Haha yes lmao
I CHOOSE YOU SMILEY!
*Use smile attack!*
@@kidflash5949 *smile attack was very effective!*
This bird looks like it came out of a sci-fi movie
Sci-fi birb
This birds look like it belongs on Pandora
The female bird: "I don't know if I'm attracted or spooked right now"
This bird from papua Indonesia and new Guinea
The girl bird : im the boss now muahahaha
Definitely spooked.
If they evolved to do dances like that then obviously they are attracted. Heh.
@@Logical_Chronical actually if they "evolved" their responses would just be a chemical response that is determined by the laws of physics and chemistry, so what you would call attraction would just be a determined chemical process. There wouldn't actually be a free willed cognitive recognition of whether or not the bird is a good mate.
Isn't it beautiful is the most prettiest bird I've ever seen in my entire existence
It's dance reminds me of Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon 3.
True. I really love that movie bro hehe
I think that Toothless dance inspired by that bird?
@@durratulaishah3703 yea it is
also Qurupeco from MH
It does how he fell on the other bird like toothless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's jus excited when he saw he wasn't the only one of his kind
Sad truth
Aw
Ouch
Pretty sure he was birthed by one of his kind 😂😂😂😂😂
i know you from hororo chan
it almost feels like it knows how mesmerizing and pretty it is
What an extraordinary masterpiece of Nature!
Nature from nothing right?
That shade of black is way darker than any clothes I've worn. I couldn't even duplicate that shade of blue in Photoshop alone...
That is a special shade of black which can absorb up to 99% of all light. Scientists have actually recreated it and anything its painted on looks like a shadow. I think its called Black 2.0
It has also been called vanta black. How interesting!
@@sirbirdingtontheiii7561 that's the name I was looking for thx
It kinda looks like....
The SHADOW....
You have photoshop? Did u pay for it?
Truth be told, I’m surprised the female birds aren’t scared away lol XD
@Artisan ...
@Artisan so your definition of feminist is being scared away? cute.
Mr S Imagine being so dumb and ignorant to think that feminism is bad...
Artisan lol hyenas
male hyenas are the lowest in hyena packs and the highest male is still below the lowest female in the packs, and they get less food.
My gosh, I remember watching the episode with this footage in 2008 or 2009 with my cousins. We saw the "frowny face" bird jumping up and down and we couldn't stop laughing because it looked so absurd. It became one of those laughing fits that keeps going, still remember it.
The amazing beautifulness of mother nature,,,,so explandid magnificent colour combination of bird,,🐦🐦🐦
That dancing bird is my last brain cell after the last day of school
What?
Lol
Hahahahahahaha
Lmao
Don't worry love. Soon like your last brain cell, these birds will disappear too.
But, can we just appreciate how beautiful that shade of blue and black is? I still so beautiful I’m speechle-
did you just passed out while writing this comme-
I know right! The black and blue together made it so vibra-
I don’t feel so go-
guys what’s going on he-
These are all so funn-
The courtship dance is to me hilarious - But I know that to the female the dance is awesome and the dancer quite dapper! His black and shiny blue colors are beautiful. BTW - Sir David Attenborough did a series "The Life of Birds", with an episode on birds of paradise. Absolutely love the series.
Imagine sleeping and you see this in the middle of the night
I will laugh and said"AWWWW "
😳😳😂😂 my reaction would be
Trying to impress a female bird while looking like a bt WiFi router
In that age sure a guarantor of success. Think of it, animals are aware of it and being on Video portals. Need that comprehensive it Infrastructure in the wild
😂 wait till he sees cell phones!

This bird is beautiful and creepy at the same time lol

Yeah totally..
Dang he darker than yo pubic hair

Thanks NatGeo for such Amazing Clips!
This bird is so unique and beautiful ❤️❤️
What if Toothless' weird mating dance in the movie was actually based off this?
I recognized some of his moves from the get go. They used several bird of paradise's dances as models.

That's what i tought too 😳

Oh god thats horrifying and awesome at the same time
gab the pesh I don’t think you know how to use the word ‘horrifying’
@@tgzzzzz He probably means how the color of its feathers sorta eat the light, it makes it very alien, possibly unsettling to some.
@@tgzzzzz It is horrifying, it's nightmare fuel.
horrifying?? i find them cute...
Same the when the wind go up it's horrifying
0:39 if I ever saw something do that to me, i would run for my life😂
Me too fam XD
It looks huge mouth with little eyes :o
she looks traumatised 💀
That's why it's so cool
Reminds me of toothless 🤣
4yrs ago!? Why am I just seeing this? I needed this in my life.
Beautiful bird. Thanx for capturing a rare moment.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing this creature running around your room😂😂😂
Youd catch me running 😂
Now you just scared me😭
🖐😳
Ima do dash 😭
I will be happy to the core and scared at the same time
This was recommended to me for the second time.
Sharp Style Fortune same
Same, first time was a year ago.
Same... not regretting it tho
Sharp Style Fortune recommended to you for the 2nd time? may be You tube thinks you need to take part in the courtship :D
Sharp Style Fortune I already watched this
Beautiful!!
the plumage is so gorgeous it may even distract from the unique courtship performance 😍❤️❤️
I love how the term “Vogelkop” literally means “bird-head” in Dutch.
Hahaha.... same in German. I guess in English it would be more appropriate to say bird brain though.
Yeaaa in flemish to ahha
So it's the Bird-head Bird of Paradise 🤔
now I just realised that lol
I got a plan.
It's Eyes look like a night witch , Amazing creature.
its feathers not eyes

Dark pacman! Incredible, the way he dances not only on his feet, but also on his wing tips, it looks like the mating dance of some jumping spider i have seen on this channel before.
