Absolutely Fantastic submitted by aspen on July 16, 2011, 2:06pm I absolutely love this documentary. David Attenborough is a very informative narrator, and talks with an enthusiasm that sucks you in to this documentary. Ten episodes take a thorough look at eating habits, foraging behavior, courting behavior, the complexities of flight, nurturing behavior, and bird conservation, among other things. This is topped off with gorgeous footage of rarely seen before species and behaviors. I definitely recommend this!
