Birds of Paradise

Amazing pictures in this video. The colors and displays are unbelievable. They dance and sing and make themselves into a visual display equal to no other.

Only New Guinea has these magnificent birds living in the deep rainforests.  We are so lucky to be able to see them thanks to the intrepid guys at Cornell, Tim Laman and Ed Scholes, who trekked through the rainforest.

What a wonderful and amazing world we live in.
