Yes-incredible isn't it-and David Attenborough's brilliant-I used to watch all his stuff when I was a kid.

| An amazing video (especially interesting for a singer) thanks very much Nick!
Aristotle was saying that Art is the imitation of Nature, so this bird is a real artist!

Yep, that bird puts on quite a show-I love his stance-should think a lot of singers would love to be able to be so striking in appearance as well as voice.

| My DD showed us that awhile ago. Very cool! It is hard these days to not be cynical and wonder if it is enhanced, but David Attenborough is such a trusted name in this sort of stuff, my tendency is to believe it is true. |

Starts off believeable, and rapidly degenerates.

| I recorded the whole "Life of Birds" episode that has this clip a long time ago and this inspired me to finally watch it. My parrots are in the room, one just watched intently the whole time, and the other was trying to imitate some of the calls, maybe he'll add something to his repertoire. I don't know if I want him to learn chainsaw though, it would be funny but he learned "air compressor" back when we had a contractor doing work on the house and that one gets old really quick! ;) |
