Earthflight - Scarlet Macaws Feed on Clay Licks (Narrated by David Tennant)

Nervous Scarlet Macaws arrive at clay licks in the Amazonian jungle to reap the benefits of the medicinal clay. The clay not only settles their stomach but also provides the macaws with essential sodium and calcium supplements.

Earthflight uses many different filming techniques to create the experience of flying with birds as they encounter some of the greatest natural events on the planet.
