# Designed To Dance: Birds Of Paradise

This stunning documentary is a Japanese production filmed by Tadashi Shimada in central Papua New Guinea. He has amazing footage of Bird of Paradise species never seen before and completely different to the David Attenborough documentary. I’m tempted to put PNG on my bucket list (actually it already is) but the footage of the terrain at around 37:00 looks even more difficult than the Arfak Mountains.

PNG is an easy flight from Brisbane, getting there would be no problem with Qantas flights via Cairns to POM or Virgin Australia from Brisbane. But PNG is one of the most expensive countries to bird in. There are safety issues and this is one place I would rather be with a group and group tours are not cheap! So until I win the lottery, videos like this are as close as I may ever get to the stunning Ribbon-tailed Astrapia & Blue Bird of Paradise.

The video is hosted on YouTube but embedding is disabled so click here to see it.
