In the bird world, the bird of paradise family (Paradisaeidae) is said to have the most colorful and attractive appearance on the blue planet. The plumage of male birds is used in strange courtship “rituals” during mating season.
According to information in the Guardian newspaper (UK), they spent nearly a decade sleeping in tents and climbing on tree branches in remote tropical rainforests (mainly in Papua New Guinea) to hunt. and “capture” beautiful moments of the 39 species of birds of paradise mentioned above.
Their silent work is introduced and described in the documentary Secret birds of paradise . The film will be shown on December 6 on the wild TV channel of National Geographic magazine (USA).
