David Attenborough up close with exotic birds in New Zealand - BBC wildlife

[Lukeschedel]

"click here to see the full video" (annotation).... SORRY! U CANNOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IN YOUR COUNTRY!...=\

[meggido666]

They are not exotic, they are native to New Zealand. Exotic is only used for introduced species. Exotic is not a word for novel or strange birds.

David Attenborough

[bemmarks]

[Annasavi]

YAY !! David Attenborough come 2 our school when i was at school ..i got to shake his hand ..he is soooooo kewl! and sooo funny

just a really nice man ! =D

[CerealKillahNZ]

I loved waking up every morning and hearing the Tui's sing... *sigh* :-)

[meloveanna]

what made you leave?

[CerealKillahNZ]

I made the mistake of falling in love and following them... stupid considering it didnt workout. But I'll move back there one day.

[burnit01]

So nice...I really want to go to New Zealand :D

[CycocelVocalist]

Yay New Zealand!

If you'd like to see any of these birds, go to Kapiti Island; a conservation island. I saw a robin & a pigeon when I went there and I have two Tui living in the trees surrounding my house.

[falcoperegrinus82]

YAY BIRDS!

[Dotatoastr]

Damn New Zealanders nicking our birds!

Tui isn't a bad beer i have to say, and its much cheaper compared to beers in Australia

double browns though uhhhhggg

[KarlheinzSchelker]

@Dotatoastr Haha classic.

[htotheij]

Seeing that Tui makes me awfully thirsty.

[KarlheinzSchelker]

@htotheij I can't get enough of these Tui jokes!

[bubbles33333]

listen to this bird it is amazing

[TheBikenutt]

I think it's funny to refer to humans as mammals, we are ummm humans.

[macguyverdiver1]

i think it's arrogant to think of humans as somehow superiour to the animal world that we evolved from.

[Dauphin35]

Do you think it`s strange to consider humans superior to earthworms or bacteria?

[snworks]

Humans ARE mammals. The point is the birds haven't met with any mammals, human or otherwise, that would kill them.

[Rahab111222]

Mammal. noun.

Any of various warm-blooded vertebrate animals of the class Mammalia, including humans, characterized by a covering of hair on the skin and, in the female, milk-producing mammary glands for nourishing the young.

[From Late Latin mammālis, of the breast, from Latin mamma, breast.]

We are mammals, dipshit.

[maicongphuc]

everything that has tits is called mammal!

you're so stupid!

[OliverConnew]

you're an idiot...

[falcoperegrinus82]

wow...

[fuckedupspaz123]

i love the fact he refers to humans as "mammels"

:D

[nhojmabon]

David attenborough is the man

[Thunda1986]

i didn't know that our birds came from oz but i reckon keas rule all other birds they are the most smartest out of em all

[nhl4L1fe]

people in new zeland say bro? lol haha

[jonymanay]

bro i live in newzealand and i aint seen most of those birds. haha

[falcoperegrinus82]

Dude, get some binos and go check 'em out!

[youloveicecream]

fantails rule. lots of these birds used to follow the moas around when they foraged, picking up bugs and litter. David rules!

[KN0MAAD]

Fantails get rather close too :)

[EagleWarri0r]

It's amazing Doctor Attenborough's ability to approach the animals.

[0dour]

oh ive loved this show since i was a child

[HorribleMonkeyAss]

Sir Attenborough, you are the embodiment of the words "conservationist" and "environmentalist". May your lessons be remembered long after we are all gone.

[kaant4]

I think YOUR a faggot! How do you know he's not positing a serious philosophical question? If we are all made of atoms and the SAME atoms comprise our genitalia, mightn't we ALL be cunts, then?

Secondly, Homosexual is the last in the human evolutionary cycle: Homo Erectus>Homo sapien>Homo sexual... ipso facto, we are all faggots. End of class

[prettypinkcupcakes55]

David Attenborough rocks!! <33333333

[queentate102]

love it queentate102

[vrdice]

I would have enjoyed school if he was the one teaching.

[joephaser]

Sir David is amazing :)

[garypaulsmith]

Sir David is the undisputed king of natural history.

[noventar]

Attenborough is like some kind of wizard of nature

[Dytex4]

@noventar a druid?

[rocking101]

that's how u narrate, unlike the narrators today!

[19cohen]

he is the narrator of today.but i do agree with he kicks ass of any narrator.boring stuff is interesting with him

[omnivorous65]

Scary to contemplate what an invasive species (like a cat) would do to the indiginous fauna.

[ZugBub]

his narrations are so relaxing

[oshouk]

Sir David Attenborough is a living legend

[chilled99]

Those birds are different. I bet their mothers slept around alot with different species. Can you imagine them going on Maury or Rikki Lake with their story? "Abandoned kids peck back: Whos my daddy?"

[westphalianprinz]

Sir David Attenborough is my favorite tv presenter. I'm glad he's working to conserve New Zealand wildlife, in addition to his other work in conservation.

[digits2]

wonder if he did one on dragonflies

[blueshiftX]

Minus the fictitious couple...

[DarkRaxxion]

Whoaaaaao! ZOMG U R SO TEH CONTROVERSIAL AND STRATE FRWRD! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!112eleveneleven­.

... just admit it's a good book. Not "THE" good book... but a good book.

[caled2care]

WOW! Truly impressive!! I can imagine that this is a little of what The Garden of Eden must have been like.

[vcrclub]

Attenborough is the man....I love how he narrates. He is so passionate and knowlegable on the subjects he talks on. Keep up the great work David.

Thank God for the BBC for putting out REAL documentaries on nature.

[nicegirlfromiceland]

Sadly, he is retiring... i read he is narrating his last series right now... on reptiles and such... makes me miss him already.. i also love how he narrates and how passionate he is.. ive collected all of his series

[JokingJoJo]

I think it would be nice to be able to go there and feed birds out of your hand like that. To have them not be afraid of humans would be so cool to observe.

[kchoppin]

David Attenborough, you truly are the man!

Keep up the amazing work!

[FlyingFossa]

i hope you get a life, honestly, you impressionable moron.

[kchoppin]

Why do people post crap like this???

David Attenborough is an excellent man and only deserves respectable comments.

[banktizzle]

Millions of years ago? Was he there?

[kiwidud3]

the birds travelled from aussie to nz, million years ago

[FlyingFossa]

dumbass, heard of fossil evidence?

[gratex]

so, technically, you cant prove anything outside your eyesight exists...

[MukeshInOz]

No hes nerd and stupid dumb ass thats why hes in in jungle and you are smart on YouTube..

[adamsebwolf]

You probably weren't around for the bible to be written about 2000 years ago. Doesn't stop it being relavent to you, does it.

[a1mint]

I wish BBC would sell Attenborough content in HD format on ordinary DVD's, using divx. No DRM crap though, because I want to be able to play it 10 years from now, without having to log in to stuff, and on my Linux box.
