    So funny and so interesting

    I don't remember if I laugh that much in any movie I have evert watched. This birds are marvellous, funny, ridiculously funny with being so stylish in the fruitfull jungle... They remind me of the aristocrat people that we see in movies. Their dresses, how they behave, how they dance, how they look... Only thing different from them is that the 'female' birds are so unpretentious. Almost all of them look like light brown chickens hanging around. But boy, look at this males! Really wow! What can be said to that bird guy who can imitate all that sound. Incredible.

    My only criticism is that, the documentary could be longer and there can be more moments without music and the narrator speaking. The birds themselves are enough interesting. The narrator should not give us the feeling that we would close watching and get bored if he is not talking and give us more silent times to watch the bird dancing and doing his woo!

    We want more like this please!!!

    This film has become my favourite Natural History film of all times. It's impressive but it's also funny. Didactic but entertaining. It's beautiful as well as contemporary.

    I love the way each story has been structured, creating different story arcs in each one of the different "episodes" within the film. Great use of the goodies and the baddies throughout the film helping to build up tension and drama and making the outcome for each contestant so unpredictable (would they succeed or fail?)

    Great use of graphics that help the audience to be clear of what they are seeing helping with the learning process of the film. An good sense of humour supported by a brilliant music score.

    A trip to Paradise

    This is a mutch watch! Many laughs are guaranteed, and a new found interest in birds as well.

    comfort food

    Stephen Fry narrates a Netflix documentary about a few of the birds of paradise. It's fun and colorful. It's fascinating. Of course, these birds have been done before but it's always great to see them again. Stephen Fry gives it that British sensibilities. I've grown accustomed to a British accent for these nature shows and this is basically TV comfort food.

    Just WOW

    Who says that Documentaries are boring You will be surprised about everything in this documentary. It is useful, unexpected, and truly marvelous. This world is full of amazing species, birds are one of them. It is one of the best nature documentaries ever. It is a perfect mix between entertaining and educational. Narrating the story in an easy funny way is a major plus in this documentary.

    Finally for people who might feel that documentaries are boring and useless, watch this, this is gonna change your mind.
