For more than 60 years, the English broadcaster and naturalist has opened our eyes to the beauty, symphony and stunning array of life — from our own backyards to the most remote corners of the world. His warm, gravely voice — perhaps one of the best known in the world — is matched by an on-camera personality that has never dulled in its genuinely enthusiastic curiosity about each new discovery.

The birds-of-paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae of the order Passeriformes. The majority of species are found in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. The family has 42 species in 14 genera. The members of this family are perhaps best known for the plumage of the males of the sexually dimorphic species (the majority), in particular the highly elongated and elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head. For the most part they are confined to dense rainforest habitat. The diet of all species is dominated by fruit and to a lesser extent arthropods. The birds-of-paradise have a variety of breeding systems, ranging from monogamy to lek-type polygamy
