He was the first to film many of their beautiful and often bizarre dislays, and over his lifetime he has tracked them all over the jungles of New Guinea. In this very ersonal film, he uncovers the remarkable story of how these #39birds from aradise#39 have cativated exlorers, naturalists, artists, film-makers and even royalty. He exlores the myths surrounding their discovery 500 years ago, the latest extraordinary behaviour catured on camera and reveals the scientific truth behind their beauty: the evolution of their sectacular aearance has in fact been driven by sex.br\　　And in a final contemorary twist to this story of obsession and royalty, he travels to the desert of Qatar, to a state-of-the-art facility which houses the largest breeding grou of these birds in the world - a sheikh#39s very own rivate collection. There he has his closest ever encounter with a greater bird of aradise and its dramatic dislay, reliving the exerience that cativated him in the forests of New Guinea more than 50 years ago.br\　　#39For me birds of aradise are the most romantic and glamorous birds in the world. And this is a film I have wanted to make for 40 years.#39 - Sir David Attenborough.
