    I have watched Sir David Attenborough for over 50 years and never cease to be amazed at what he has given us. Now I am a lot older understand the affinity he with all animals. This is a wonderful clip of the bowerbird.

    "...For a bird with a passion for interior decoration." Amazing! If, for the sake of argument, a sentient species evolves from a bower bird-like species, imagine how beautiful their cities would be!

      There is already a sentient species evolved from the bower bird, called the bower bird

    Awesome. The hard work from this bird is so important because how well he does determines if he will attract a mate to carry on his genes

  • @falcoperegrinus82
    @falcoperegrinus82 Před 11 lety +4

    Numerous times, you see the bird place an object and then rearrange it until he's satisfied. It's obvious the bird is not doing anything haphazardly and is genuinely concerned with the aesthetics of the bower. That is amazing.

    I love how the bower birds are so fussy and tweaky, it's funny.
    No this thing doesn't go here, I must move it over there.. no, that's not right, moving it to this other place until it's just right, it's VERY VERY important !

    What an incredible man.
    I am involved in a team-building creative problem solving program called Destination Imagination. Last year, we were to structure a skit around an animal which was amazing in some quality. We chose the bowerbird and used this video as a major reference. We gave special thanks to David Attenborough.
    What an incredible man.

  • @wildlifegardenssydney7492

    Bower birds have such incredible making skills. Their discernment, their ;Art, aesthetics, construction, arrangement, collections and beauty. Bower birds can choose. “If a male Bower bird thinks he has more luck seducing with pink he chooses pink flowers”. (He is not at all limited by his plumage alone).

  • @mncovill
    @mncovill Před 12 lety

    @eennapusful The main message of the video is this: The bird in the video is a boy bowerbird. Bowerbirds build houses out of sticks, find things they think are pretty in the forest, and put them around the house. Every bird thinks different things are pretty. The boy bird does this to make a girl bird like him.
    I hope this helps, or that someone who speaks your language can help you. =)

    You are right and in another who knows how many years something else will be explained scientifically and that is brilliant! In the meantime, what can be conceived by the mind is possible, p.s. what happened before there was nothing?
