I've seen this clip many times. I love birds of paradise. And I love David Attenborough. Wonderful.

I also love bower birds. I like how they create collections of particular items they like, such as stones, seeds, shiny wing casings, fruit. I'm similar, although I don't do it to attract a mate. :)

I find these birds amazing how they can copy literally everything and get it exactly right.
