This magnificent series from the master, David Attenborough, celebrates the incredible variety of the world?s best loved creatures and provides fascinating insights into their way of life. Attenborough begins one hundred and fifty million years ago, when, as the dinosaurs disappeared, some birds abandoned flight and made an attempt to take over the earth. From this starting point we take an incredible journey through the mysteries of the bird world, from bill size and shape to signals and songs, from finding partners to fishing for a living, and from the demands of the egg to the limits of endurance. Every film David Attenborough makes is packed to overflowing with fascinating insights and wondrous education. The Life of Birds is no exception, and this 3-DVD set brings us even further into our understanding of the magnificent creatures who share our plan.
