THE BIRDERS | A Melodic Journey through Northern Colombia

[@julianacardonacorrea1003]

This is the kind of documentaries that should show the channels tv in Colombia, not just series of narcos and violence, because it is a country with amazing biodiversity and many fantastic places to visit for nature lovers and those who want to know the wonders of our country.

[@diegoCOLbirding]

tenés TODA la razón Juliana... ya lo pasamos por Telemedellin y pronto por Canal Caracol!!

[@diegoCOLbirding]

glad you liked it ! :-)

[@SylvainDuford]

What a beautiful film. The cinematography, the scenery, the animals, the music, the people. Just stunning. Brought tears to my eyes at the thought that we're destroying it all.

[@diegoCOLbirding]

glad the film reached you Sylvain! :-)

[@spiral-m]

go vegan for the planet and animals (best thing on average that one can do in the system). Compassion for ALL animals! (I'm a birder / environmentalist / musician, b.t.w.). That is the least we can do, then become an effective activist in any way you can. Start uncomfortable dialogues. Be brave and be the change.

[@dianaholvik2554]

This is one of the most amazing documentaries I've seen. The birds, the beauty of the environments. mountains, coastal areas, semi-desert, etc. But It was not only about the birds...and so many gorgeous birds and bird sounds, but the people. and culminating with Diego's story. Wow. Beautiful in every way. I'm 70 and I've watched a lot of documentaries in my time and I read a lot of books. This was one of the best. Thank you.

[@johnanthonysantucci2581]

Outstanding film; the slow-motion take-off of the birds was thrilling. Perfection.

[@diegoCOLbirding]

glad you liked it John... those hummers bathing were amazing!

[@spiral-m]

This reminded me of 2 fantastic ornithological expeditions I did in Ecuador to help preserve endemics in the south-west of the country. What a great documentary: full of passion, beauty and art and I hope it reminds people to take care of the planet. We desperately need to help the Earth breathe again and create huge natural carbon sinks and biodiversity again and the best way to do that is to re-gain land back from animal agriculture with shift towards a much more plant-based system. Go vegan is on average the best thing we can do in our system as an individual. Compassion for ALL animals and nature.

[@diegoCOLbirding]

cool Spiral-M... any links from those expeditions we can check out? ... I have a few:

[@diegoCOLbirding]

thanks Simon mate.. glad you liked it!

[@thisisme1999]

Incredible documentary not only of amazing locations and incredible birds but the story that was told was completely unlike other birding type documentary. Most travel documentaries follow the same standard type of set up, but this one was from a perspective of an expert passion filled birder and his newbie cameraman friend. I almost never watch documentaries this long on my computer but well worth it!

[@diegoCOLbirding]

Absolutely Nick, and that is what makes THE BIRDERS a completely novel cool approach to natural history documentaries... masterfully directed and created by Gregg Bleakney and his WHERENEXT crew, we show a different Colombia, a different way fo showing natural history of birds to the viewers... glad you liked it mate! 👊

One of the most beautiful bird production made in Latin America. Key habitats and its key species. This movie represents just the little of the magnificent treasures and jewelrys found in the nature of Colombia. And is just what most Latin American countries has to offer in terms of nature travels.

Tremendo documental. Nuestros ecosistemas son complejos, diversos, sensibles y únicos. Para nosotros eso está dado por hecho, pero necesitamos conocerlos a fondo, darles su verdadero valor y protegerlos. Gracias por esta hermosa revelación que va más allá de la caracterización de las aves y que abarca su significado, valor y relación con las comunidades nativas. Qué bueno sería que esto se replicará en la Amazonía, en el Pacífico, en los páramos, y en general en todos los ecosistemas que tenemos en este país privilegiado.
