剧情简介
Birds of paradise are one of David Attenborough's lifelong passions. He was the first to film many of their beautiful and often bizarre displays, and over his lifetime he has tracked them all over the jungles of New Guinea. In this very personal film, he uncovers the remarkable story of how these 'birds from paradise' have captivated explorers, naturalists, artists, film-makers and even royalty. He explores the myths surrounding their discovery 500 years ago, the latest extraordinary behaviour captured on camera and reveals the scientific truth behind their beauty: the evolution of their spectacular appearance has in fact been driven by sex. And in a final contemporary twist to this story of obsession and royalty, he travels to the desert of Qatar, to a state-of-the-art facility which houses the largest breeding group of these birds in the world - a sheikh's very own private collection. There he has his closest ever encounter with a greater bird of paradise and its dramatic display, reliving the experience that captivated him in the forests of New Guinea more than 50 years ago. 'For me birds of paradise are the most romantic and glamorous birds in the world. And this is a film I have wanted to make for 40 years.' - Sir David Attenborough.
观众心声
少不了要介绍极乐鸟的求偶舞蹈，还有一部分是围绕极乐鸟的各色花边小史，比如几百年前的艺术家，对着残缺的标本疯狂脑补，精工绘制四不像，拿破仑的侄子将“红黄蓝”三色的极乐鸟命名为“人民共和”极乐鸟（国旗要改色吗）。一小部分是老爷子从黑白影像时代起就和这种凡尔赛之鸟结下的渊源，还能看见大极乐鸟向他求偶。
非常漂亮的鸟！
大自然的美总能突破我的认知极限
2024.3.9，目前9.0分。51:19，B站。天堂鸟太美了。爱登堡真是啥都见识过了，而且是深度参与，此生无憾了。1926年，快100岁了。
好看 雄性极乐鸟进化出华丽到离谱的装饰羽毛和求偶舞蹈行为，主要源于性选择中雌鸟的喜好 而它们能有资源和空间完成这一进化 得益于新几内亚岛屿丰富的自然资源和较少的天敌 饱暖思淫欲，艺术家大都诞生在贵族 人与自然在各种地方息息相通 想想草原上的鬣狗，哪有那么多空长好看呀
