Video by @timlaman | 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. Follow @TimLaman to see a lot more coverage. #Indonesia #birdsofparadise @birdsofparadiseproject

Along the banks of the Sepik River there are still communities that have had almost no contact with the outside world. They have held onto their traditions for thousands of years. Weโd heard stories of scarification, spirit houses and mythical crocodiles. I couldnโt wait to plunge into the humid tropical swamplands to find out whether all the stories were true.
