African Paradise Flycatchers | Beautiful breeding behaviour

The African Paradise Flycatchers is a well-known bird in South Africa. They are strikingly beautiful, especially the male with his long tail and blue eye wattles.
Filmed in different locations, this video showcases their breeding behaviour from nest building to raising their chicks. It is hard work for the parents to constantly keep feeding growing chicks. Sit back and simply enjoy an unscripted nature video.
What a delight to watch!

Such wonderful parents! Looked like they gave each chick their turn for the next meal and waited to remove the fecal sac within moments of receiving the meal. Maybe a different perspective but to me it looked like the size of the nest expanded some after the eggs hatched and accommodated the growing chicks to some extent initially. That makes sense since the spider webs would have some elasticity. Beautiful video! Thanks 😊

I'll never complain about changing diapers again now that I've seen how these flycatchers do it.
