The secluded Equatorial rainforests of the island of Borneo are home to
the only "Birds of Paradise" in the world - an abundance of bird species whose
wildly varied plumage and bizarre mating antics are more "speciated" and extreme
than anywhere else on Earth - likely, because the rainforests on Borneo are
among the oldest rainforest ecosystems on the planet.

These birds of paradise have had a long time to get their acts together!

This fall, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Geographic are bringing
the Birds-of-Paradise Project to the public.

Get an advance look now...and witness diverse strategies of evolution at work
and experience one of nature's extraordinary wonders - up close.

Neat video. Such an amazing array in the bird world isn't there? Colours, behaviours. Birds are neat but I have to say, honestly, just also the tiniest been unnerving. I think it's the way they move their heads. They're beautiful but also a little creepy. lol.
