I really love how these birds are called things like Superb and Magnificent in their official names

I'm waiting for the Overwhelming Bird-of-Paradise and the Tremendous Bird-of-Paradise.

I love the long pause before the female flies away!

Whoever put the camera in the right spot...props. This was awesome.

[DoomInACup]

If a guy was jumping at me like that, I'd be terrified! Haha. What a cool display!

[DrxSlump]

Looks like something straight out of a Miyazaki movie!

Is no one going to talk about the perfect rhythm with the slapping of the tail?

[turnstilerockets]

That dude has a good beat. Welp…better luck next time.

Absolutely adore these birds! Sad how many males get rejected though before one actually gets to make babies. All of them are handsome kings!

I should dress up as a bird and do this when I propose to a girl.

[pigeonboi]

Bird: ok this is my time to impress this bird and spread my genes

Me: ha silly smile birb go bounce

A female bird dances and then a bird is dancing, because, it is superb.

[sarahjung]

chick: * flies away *

Is this bird showing off his colorful section? It feels like his eyes and jumping around, and snapping sound would hypnotize or startle into pacivity. (or make one leave)

[jimlas]

Just blows my mind!!! I am so glad I found this channel!!!

[jorgecorreiasneto]

Muito show essa dança e essa perfomace com todo o colorido que tem direito!!

[billchessmen]

Fascinating. Like primordial Era that time forgot.

[josemartin]

C est merveilleux, ces oiseaux sont somptueux .

[joshmorton]

It's funny and more interesting when stoned.

[robcat]

He's doing the rhumba rhythm... dotted eighth, dotted eighth, eighth rest. :D
