“It’s hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn’t good enough.” No truer thing has ever been uttered.

She's seen it all before 🤣 not impressed
😢😢
1:28 This bird is literally scrubbing the branch clean. This is one of the most glorious videos on the internet.
agreed
Very impressive Netflix brought me to this I love his dance
According to the to evolution scam, random chemical reactions from nothing eventually made the bird and made the bird clean the branch.
@@candeffect It's a behavioral thing. Birds that made these dances and looked good were the ones that were more successful in reproducing.
@@candeffect How ironic that a person with the user "CauseAndEffect" doesn't believe in evolution
"Very impressive, but no one is watching" - my life essentially.

Ahah amen to that, chap!
My god I know a lot of people are making funny jokes but this is actually incredible ive never seen an animal like this it’s really crazy how different places are
Take a look at stuff on remote islands. That stuff is either really big or really small.
When birds have better dance moves than you.
avarice seven so true
I'd rather not know how to dance than dance and dab
The amazonas it's burning right now
BEACUSE THERE GODS!!!
Lol
So he cleans up the area to make a dance floor for disco dancing and then actually goes disco dancing? well done
Thomas Therrell then he gets rejected...poor guy
All that hard work for nothing. Smh.
Cheap thrill
Red Moon 96 He'll get another chance someday...
I liked the "well done"
1:43 That one is clearly trying to contact the mother ship but it's getting no signal
The amazonas it's burning right now
*The birds work for the bourgeoisie-*
Lol
They are so beautiful and heartwarming to watch. Thank you for the people who get this.
Me after watching this video *dances aggressively in front of crush*
Fruits Chinpo Samurai G underrated comment
did you get a cape and costume with eye-spots?
It might work.
Lol
Watch the ending closely and reconsider
My husband and I saw this on a large screen at an organization showing the film and we BURST out laughing at this dance. Ten years ago and we still do this dance to each other and laugh. Not the intended reaction!
awww!
Cringe
@cryaboutit7499 the word cringe is cringe. And it’s actually pronounced ‘cringey’
We were watching this in science class and when the bird changed its appearance at 2:27 and started dancing everyone in my class were laughing so much and I was laugh crying
my sister and i were on the floor dying when we first saw this too😂
2:55 ''I always saw you as a friend'' A minute of silence because the friendzone is not something that distinguishes between species
2:57 "It's hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn't good enough", thought every guy trying to find a girlfriend at one time or another.
Christopher W wise word
Niceguys alert.
ron came on too strong. He needs to take a step back and respect her boundaries and personal space.
Hey, it happens to the ladies too!
This actually is a motivational video if you look closely..:p
Oh sure, when a bird does it, it's cute.. but when I do it, I'm the drunk obnoxious guy at the bar.
Plz stop, I cannot breath.... I read that comment at 0:58 btw.
Stagnight ! Haha! About the time I commented it.
*Adam, there may be something about differentiating species you should know about.*
Leapsalot In the grand scheme of things, aren't we all just bidding our time till the afterlife? What's with that "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" I keep hearing about?
adam mac Oh you just had to go and use the species card lol
It’s amazing to believe that dinosaurs evolved into these spectacular birds.
wtf who believes this sh*t?
They look like they all have TikTok accounts
“Be honest, I came on too strong, didn’t I?”
just a tad
LOL
😂
“I just want to take things slow” 😅🤣
2:35 I wouldn't be impressed if I saw this, I'd be pretty scared. A huge black oval with blue dots that appear as tiny eyes, I think that'd appear in my nightmares.
Doveshine I cracked up when I saw the face, it looks so funny
Childish Gambirbno
When I was little I saw that bird on TV and I thought it was a monster
The bird think it's hot.
looks like proper Batman
"Spectacle" doesn't even begin to describe this! "WOW"! Stunningly beautiful!
2:03 *very impressive but no one is watching* My life
kzhead.info/sun/f9SLfZd7sHWMhZs/bejne.html
I sometimes wish humans would attract mates like this Man: //turns into gigantic smiley face while jumping around and making loud clicking sounds Woman: oh man that's really hot
I did that before, but I got detention
Go into VRchat and try it out :^)
I would turn into a huge frown face
MackMcDeven97 show me da wae my brudda
Inconsistent Buttface we do- these are my people 😀
"It is hard not to feel deflated when even your best is not good enough" Dem feels.
She's not the one
@@1advaitavedanta1 never has been
You're really handsome. :)
"There are 42 different kinds of birds, each one being more bizarre than the last" *Well then I feel bad for the one that is the least bizarre, like come on man*
It’s kind of spectacular how nature can be so awesome
Gods creation
Fairly impressive... no one is watching 2:00 Describes me pretty well.
Continue, you will succeed eventually - Best of luck, man
I actually LOLed to this line
Payton Heinze lol
It describes every beta males.. lol
The camera is watching ☝️😉
Am i just here to watch a bird getting rejected from the females..?
just like in real life :D :(
•Alangkarn• me too
Wow lovely
that was a sad ending
kzhead.info/sun/pbxtYNF6mWqYno0/bejne.html watch this one, this bird is getting laid
Thanks for all who spent the time to film this 🌈🙏
3:23 He really woke up today and decided to flex his muscles.
I like the dance at 02:26 He sure does impress me 😆😍
Nina W Then you have weird taste
Nina W I have a parrot named Nina xD
Nina W me too!!
I like how he does his own beatboxing too.
@@TheTruthiestlol... Beat me
“It’s hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn’t good enough.” Me too, little guy. Me, too.
He even deflated his feathers he felt it
Absolutely stunning birds!!! The narrator really adds so much too!!!
You know it’s David Attenborough?
Every other bird: just a silly weird dance 0:54 : I'M HIGH AS F%CK
0:57 *D A B*
Intense dabbing
LMAO
das bird elvis Presley
*Dabbing Majestically intensifies*
Everyone stop it
“Very impressive, bit no one is watching.” 😂 poor bird
He didn't explain that they dance on purpose even when no one is around to practice for when the females do come. This is why documentaries are stupid.
@@julzyboy8960 that doesn't make sense to call it stupid, at any time it would be more beneficial to the bird for a female to come, even if it is for practicing purposes. The fact that he spent energy on display means it would be for the purpose of attracting a female, which he did not do. Just like a failed attempt at asking someone out may be looked at as practice, it is still a failed attempt.
@@julzyboy8960 Oh, can it. I totally got it without the narrator telling me there were no-one watching. It was a good laugh without the savvy explaining why.
they are pokemons....u can only watch them on tv or you tube and nowhere else..as they don't allow...
i mean the camera man was watching
That one cleaning and dancing in the clearing was the cutest thing omg ..like he was waltzing
I was fortunate to see a very few times the bird of paradise Male as well as female way back in 1985 at Trichy in my BHEL factory road which is almost like a forest area.The Male had a few very long tail feathers hanging down more than a meter as it flew from branch to branch and across the road.As I was riding the scooter the paradise bird flew in front of me with it with its overly long lovely tail feathers.It was a heavenly sight .Which was why I think it is called the bird of paradise.Compared to Male,the female was not having remarkable feathers.Just a commonplace female of smaller size.I could see the male and female for 1/2 dozen times.Thereafter they just vanished.I didn’t sight the birds tIll I left Trichy in 2007. Birds of paradise come in many Colors and shades but they belong to an unique species.
Birds of paradise are only found in New Guinea Islands. That's their only habitat. U may have seen some other bird.
Loving the gold sequinned bow tie. But the iridescent blue smiley face was just a wee bit too creepy...
Insert a 'lemme smash' meme
Yirkarja i would give u a like but the count is 667 and i am not gonna ruin that perfection
Que privilegio poder ver y escuchar las aves en su habitad Natural 👏👏
HEY I THOUGHT HE DID A GOOD JOB!
The females of this species are very picky!
@@deborahminter6231 why not rabed her?
@@samiahmad2227 ?
@@deborahminter6231 s.t.f.u
2:32 you can't avoid to think that what the male is really trying to do is hypnotize her with that shiny band and those two little psychedelic dots dancing in that dizzying motion.
1:42 actual footage of me at the bar after some drinks
Dayumn, these birds have more rhythm and better dance moves than I could ever hope for...
If there was a guy that made an effort to impress me like this bird then I’d accept him straight away
😁So funny....the male species in the wild go beyond chivalry! Love it!☺💞
Hello Betty
0:54 is the bird dabing?
If you're certain you want to know about it (I don't recommend to look it up, it's just plain stupid and cringy) I recommend you to search the term on youtube and you will find out what it is
Mooonnrikeid your profile pic is life
Mooonnrikeid ii
That's the part I always crack up at😂😂😂
A God-bird amongst men-birds
I remember watching this because my teacher put it on for the class at the end of testing in 3rd grade and we all laughed so hard. My friend and I mocked the bird’s wicked dance skills for the rest of the day. Now I’m in 9th grade, time really flies😢😢
Srly, I really hope the smiley emoji clicking bird in the video already found his true love now..
2:35 imagine if guys had to do shit like this to attract us 😂😂😂
Hahahahahahaha
Lol
Wait we haven't?
They probably have to also😂
hi26318 they kind of do get puffed up though.
God I can't even watch this without hearing Ron. XD
Stick
look at me im a ballerina cha cha real smooth
Adorable little one.. and so so beautiful.. woe.. what a impressive dancer.. Thank you Sir David Attenborough & BBC 👍 Outstanding as always 💕🍃🌍🍃💕✌😊💖
"'its hard not to feel deflated when your best is not good enough"'.
Honestly that was terrifying It looked like some messed up face
Sadistic Poptart my thoughts exactly! He tried too hard and scared her away.
IKR
Man the pun: the birds face or the profile picture Dwight?
We watched this at school and we have never seen it before and all of the students (including me) were hysterically laughing!! !!’
2:33 I think she's more scared than impressed... Males sometimes forget to take it easy at first...
Is this for real because I had a feeling she was scared as well
Exactly.... That's what I was saying, too.... She prolly liked the dance moves, but didn't care too much for the boner bouncing up and down.
I have never seen birds so beautiful before thanks to the show Planet Earth
thank you Lord for the beautiful creation:)awesome birds ♡
Oh my god😍 these are beautiful
I don't know what kind of beauty you've seen in your life but shit ain't close to beautiful
Hoo Dini if you haven't noticed, she's talking about the beauty of the nature, and let me tell you that if you don't see Something amazing, cute and beautiful, maybe you have to learn to find the beauty of everything, and the beauty of your world, but first find your own one specially🙄🤔😉
Hello brother ;)
This bird is so beautiful.
So beautiful Bird 🕊️🕊️🕊️
BBC earth videos are the most satisfying videos on KZhead. Amazing nature.
The birds of paradise are so amazingly beautiful. It's a crying shame that people would kill these birds.
😥
I know they do it in my country PNG alot of times
dude this has to be one of the most funny and mindblowing videos I have seen in a while and someone needs to add a track over that dance hahahah
0:31 it looks like he's wearing a tutu and a bow tie 😂
its blue eyes are stunning, never seen colour like that on anything that isn't human
1:03 i died at the yellow ish birds sounds
Hilarious 😂
I swear I thought someone was using a hand puppet, even the call it was making sounded off.
Anyone know the name of that yellow bird he's cute and the dancing one is to 😁😁
Greater bird of paradise
When you try telling her to shut up but she still doing it
Nature is so beautiful! 💗💗💗💗
I am sure as hell attracted to this bird’s antics and emoji face

Words can not describe this beautiful bird and divine design 😊
The fact that he went all out, cleaned up the yard, took out the trash, did the laundry & dishes, all so he could win some him poontang kept me intrigued 😅😄😃😂😄
You had me laughing out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That superb bird of paradise is simply brilliant. Love it.
10/10. Perfect choreography.
Glorious Kumuls!! Great ending statement!! "It's hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn't good enough!"
Came to see this after hearing that Toothless’s dance at the end of the How to Train Your Dragon 3 trailer was based off these birds xD It all makes sense now
kzhead.info/sun/f9SLfZd7sHWMhZs/bejne.html
Yup XD
This is by far the very best of Planet earth birds are awesome
Wow! What kind of lady could not desire this hunk of performance?! 🤯
Some of these birds move more like _insects_ , absolutely incredible! And hilarious. x'D
Absolutely amazing!! Thank you for producing such beautiful work
No, Ron.
*Swiggity swooty*

When a birds hous is cleaner than yours. Love this💖
Aw i love the sound of Birds of Paradise.
I like the little sounds their feet make on the ground. It’s cute!
This bird tidies up more than I do...
Beautiful. Thank you.
Fascinating! Going back to watch Our Planet. Thank you so much!
Beautiful creatures
This is where the dab came from.
I can listen to David Attenborough's voice all day.
All paradise birds spends more time dancing than searching food. Fascinating
This is a guide on how to pick up chicks. xD
Cudo prirode ih kad bi imala jednu ovakvu da je gledam celi dan
Notes: dont dance too close to her.... dance around her at a distance.... I wonder if he has found one that appreciated how tidy his home and dance moves were.
I do not like these implecations.... do you know what a baby bird is called?
Oh my god! Such a natural beauty love it ♥
Beautiful bird. Thanks.
I love this 🐦 dance 😍😍💜
