[@jacquiions1018]

i had no clue this existed

[@Cellardoor_]

I'm trying to figure out either species' anatomy. Does it have special appendages for the "cape"? Or are those part of its wings?

[@dannysullivan12345]

Wow I was watching bbc planet earth 1 and I decided to Wikipedia the smiley face one my one question 🙋‍♂️ is do they hang out with each other

[@itsroxannetime289]

I think the famous smiley face is bigger than the new one.

[@Lostpanda123]

I love this planet.

[@griffinniemann4380]

great comment

[@blackrottweiler8885]

So do I but unfortunately majority of the world doesn't.

[@taisukethetiddyconnoisseur2581]

I hate this planet.

[@littlemissprettybird]

Mono Station why is that. The pain and destruction that the Earth inflicts on its creatures is all apart of what keeps this world living.

[@jasminesanchez5046]

Too bad it's dying lmao

[@NarrowKilla]

Looks like two blue eyes staring out of miniature black hole, this is fascinating indeed

[@AJKecsk]

That's actually intentional. The feathers are specifically structured to capture almost all light, reflecting back nearly none. This is why it appears textureless when you look at it. Regular black colors usually reflect a fair bit, allowing you to see their texture. People have recently figured out how to make this effect happen artificially - look up Vantablack.

Extremely beautiful bird.

[@Garland67]

Just fascinating. The thought that the forests these birds live in could one day disappear fills me with dread.

[@aoarashi3025]

02:06 How in the world did it evolve a neon yellow throat??

[@debbiehenri7170]

In the same way that all creatures evolve, in that a rare mutation takes place (be it a single neon yellow throat feather on this bird; the single white feather gracing each wing on a blackbird variant existing where I used to live, and the 'spectacled' Blue Tit variant that existed where I live now - until neonicotinoid pesticides wiped out these variants and nearly all the other songbirds). Some female birds will reject mutations in their prospective mates, but we have to thank the females of Papua New Guinea for the fact that they clearly relish them. Over generations, that one neon feather becomes 2, 4, 10 and more, the females driving the preferences for colour, form of the throat feathers, and the songs and dances the males perform. Indeed, they are the ones deliberately and subtly redesigning their kind. The Birds of Paradise are clearly derived from a family that naturally has a good deal of genetic instability, and we're fortunate to witness what has to be a point quite close to where the natural evolutionary process has begun to divide this species. I only hope we humans can finally clean up our act and put right the environment - so that birds like these can continue to evolve, progress, and astonish our distant descendants with new and equally beautiful plumage and displays.

[@nicolenorm9456]

Une grande merveille de la Création ! À remarquer que c'est le mâle qui déploie tous ses atouts de séduction et non la femelle. L'oiseau du paradis ! Où Où Où...

Wow its really strange but really amazing bird ever i seen

[@nrcuber8269]

Well a new bird In my favorite order of biological life

[@CYCLONE4499]

Rare and beautiful bird 🐦

[@keenbtf]

Was just learning about the color blue and how its not really a true pigment, which is really neat to see on this guy. The way the color changes based on the angle you see it from. Also for his tail though, it is so much blacker than the bottom of the feathers, which reminds me of vanta black. Have they examined the tail feathers to see them more closely at all?

[@keenbtf]

There are some, but you are right, the vast majority aren't really blue! It definitely threw my mind for a loop when I was learning about it!

[@jarrypason8885]

Hello Keen how are you doing today.

[@Crusad3rYT]

I love this bird it's my favourite

[@Fida7648]

That bird dancing is really funny 😂😂 If only that bird isnt rare species I would pet one And the dancing that bird doing was similar to one of the cultural dance called 'Reog' in Java, east Indonesia. I think the Reog itself was inspired by that type of bird in 2 thousand years ago before it's only inhabiting in west Indonesia now.

[@kenogihebe]

Amazing insight!!!

[@shyamsonar1381]
