Did do care for personal voyages and telling of story along the way. I like more natural history scenery. More bird scenery and less traveling would made a better video.
 Attenborough is Amazing October 31, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This DVD is for ALL fans of Sir David Attenborough and his great nature specials. We're all familiar with The Blue Planet series, Planet Earth & Life of Mammals to name a few, but this one takes us back to Attenborough's beginnngs. It contains 4 specials on: Birds of Paradise, a musing on the theories of music and its origins, treasures found in amber and best of all a history of Sir David's beginnings in nature specials and the BBC. What makes this man so special is not only his great knowledge but his ebullient enthusiasm and crisp narration. Personally, I can't wait til his next project.
Fantastic! October 30, 2007

I really found the movie to be educational and very interesting. I have purchased many of the same types of movies from BBC and love them all!
Gotta have it October 20, 2007

This may not be as top-notch as "Life of Birds," but it's a worthy addition to the David Attenborough section of your video library. Exciting footage of exotic birds with eccentric behavior. Trips to Easter Island and unexplored sections of Papua New Guinea. Best of all, a smart narrator who knows when to shut up and when to speak. What more could you want? Recommended without reservation of any kind.
Exceptional and Varied Programs by this Great Documentary Naturalist October 3, 2007
27 out of 28 found this review helpful
It's impossible to surpass the exceptionally well done full description of this release on the Amazon site here. The best thing is, it's not only comprehensive, discussing each of the films, but well-written. I'll stick to a simple review of the product as found.
If you do not have this material, or most of it, from previously issued DVDs this is a great offer. The two DVDs contain about as much bang for your buck as possible for lovers of Nature programing. The only quibble I have is that the quality of film varies a bit more than suggested in the product summary above. Too, with more exposure to the brilliance of today's HD, earlier films, even those only a few years old, look less and less wonderful, and more and more dated. The double sword of technology - our world now can be seen in even greater spell-binding cinematography, but our previous efforts lose their original luster. However, with these films the charming and intelligent storylines add an additional dimension often lacking in such documentaries. Indeed, these are about as varied and splendid a group as anyone could wish. Certain sequences remain priceless.
And if you're a bird watcher and don't have these films on the Birds of Paradise or the Bowerbirds this is your DVD!
