Howdy Oscar,
I agree, he's nature shows are all out of this world...never get disapointed with the content and i always learn new stuff, every time i watch he's shows of wild life and about our planet 8)

Oscar...What's a VCR? It doesn't ring a bell ::) Just kidd'n :-) Here's the Birds of paradise film by Sir David Attenborough, 'Attenborough in Paradise'

The films show several species of birds of paradise and there courtship dances...I have seen this film countless of times and i'm still blown away everything i watch the film :)
I will try to find the film on the same subject by National Geographic. Wasn't aware that Nat.Geo also done a film on B. of Paradise. Thanks for sharing 8)

Warning: that National Geographic film is over 20 years old. It's not the newer version of National Geographic which they redid on birds of paradise and is not nearly as good. The old version doesn't even show up on the National Geographic website. Too bad, it's a real mind blower. Might be possible to get from sites that sell old VCR tapes.

Hi Oscar,
Oh boy...some hunting is in question ;D  One of my favorite movies childhood movie was Sheena and i successfully found a copy 8) 20 years ago will be a piece of pie to find a copy  ;D

Steven, if you manage to find the movie please let me know. But notice that i said 20+ years, which means it could also be 30 or 40 years old.
