Birds of Paradise

Filed under: funny, video |

It almost looks like just another video of cute birds and nature - though this one has an interesting moment towards the end of the video. Without giving too much away, I’d say the bird looked a whole lot cuter - and almost like something coming out of a computer game.

Alright, if you’re that impatient, push the bar to the 2:10 mark.

[Edit]

Added another video below at Linyou’s recommendation - another bird called the Lyre Bird with amazing talents in imitating sounds: from bird chirps to decidedly more…man-made sounds like machines and sirens. The first case of music piracy in bird-land:

    That’s a clip from the BBC documentary “Planet Earth”. It is an INCREDIBLE series that you should pick up and see immediately if you haven’t already:

    If you have the means, seeing the HD version (Blu-Ray) is highly recommended.
