This male Vogelkop superb bird of paradise performs his extraordinary display, featuring super-black plumage and faux blue eyespots, hoping to impress a female.

Ed Scholes and I will be sharing our story of how in 2018 we filmed this bird for the first time, discovering it was a unique species, along with everything else you ever wanted to know about birds of paradise, at our next NatGeo Live presentation, in Vancouver, on Tuesday, February 4.

Hope to see you there!

Filmed in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in the Arfak Mountains, Papua, Indonesia.
