BBC Planet Earth - Birds of Paradise mating dance

Extraordinary Courtship displays from these weird and wonderful creatures.

From episode 1 "Pole to Pole".

"it's hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn't good enough"

I relate to this on a spiritual level

[mushisenpai]

This will forever and always be my FAVORITE scene from any BBC Earth episode

[loszhor]

I don't know which was cuter, watching the bird dance or watching him clean.

[eveningdim]

"Very impressive; but no one is watching."

[Lambth]

I lose every last ounce of my shit every single time I watch this like imagine trying to woo your crush by being a terrifying blue face mfg I'm gone

[vc-was-her]

"Mum, can I be a pretty ballerina yet?"
"No, little Jimmy."
"But I have my neck Tutu ready."
"It won't get you laid."

[jdw]

Just like human males, the bird of paradise must frantically clean his bachelor pad just before the booty call.

[allieplante]

2:38 i've never related to a bird more than in that moment

[DoctorSakr]

Her: "How are you gonna protect the nest from predators?"
Him: Shows her his Demon Dance
Her: "That's terrific! but not terrifying enough, byyye"

[me-jhwz]

Trying to flirt be like:

Friend: Just be yourself

Me:

That girl bird was jumping around cause she was getting creeped out 😂😂😂 very interesting, had me laughing how the male bird looked dancing 😂😂😂

[emmax]

They put this on during my MRI scan, I have never laughed so much in my life had to be rescanned 😂😂

[CANADAWOOOOOOOOO]

These birds are absolutely fascinating! The diversity of species in the Amazon Rain Forest is spectacular!

[eveorellana]

These birds, I love them. Their dances, o' so elaborate. When I see them, suffice it to say, I am swept off my feet!

[ruthpascua]

1:22 so this is why Toothless was doing that dance in the new How to Train your Dragon 3 trailer

[SamSpender]

I really laughed out loud on seeing the black and blue one for the first time and still can’t ... just can’t. This is the best thing BBC ever aired.

[JoyaLewisTheMusician]

This was shown in class for the dance chapter of Art and Music Appreciation. I was so caught off guard by how hilariously meme-ish it was wow

[The_White_Mandingo]

After my wife telling me for the thousandth time that “I’m not in the mood. Put me in the mood” I’ve come to realize that this dude is my spirit animal. Not a cheetah or a lion, but this little guy. I’m getting a tattoo of him soon. Every time my wife says her infamous line to me I’ll look at my tattoo and think about my spirit animal in the jungle dancing away, doing his damn best to get laid too!

[kermitdfrog]

Watched it when it aired live first time.

Still the hardest I've ever laughed in my life

[armyblinkforever]

We watched this video in class a few days ago...
Everybody laughed so hard, and I know that I'm not the only one who came to watch it again
