I heard about a new documentary called The Birds of Paradise in science class. Does anyone else know about it? I looked it up and apparently there is a book that goes with it too.

A believe it's by David Attenborough.  I've never seen it or read the book, but it's supposed to be good.  I do recall hearing though that some of the footage was the same as in Planet Earth and Life.

Cool! By the way, goannas do rule!

Or, maybe you're thinking of this National Geographic production? WINGED SEDUCTION: BIRDS OF PARADISE

There is also this recent National Geographic book, Birds of Paradise: Revealing the World's Most Extraordinary Birds, although I'm not sure that the book and documentary are explicitly connected.

Yep, those are the ones I was talking about. And yes, the book does go with the documentary.
