A very interesting series! It would be great to see how it was filmed. For example, how they film a bird taking a larva out of a tree from two different angles and the whole process is just wow. And how many different corners of the globe they had to visit to film it all.
I like the inserts with David himself, around whom birds are always walking/flying/ eating, just like at home))
There are so many amazing moments: a huge woodpecker storage, and various ways to drink juice, and the use of tools, and parrots with a brush tongue, and catching larvae, and a cross beak, and capybara passengers, and a bird in the ear ...))

The Lyrebird is something! I'm just shocked by his imitation abilities. Oh

Animals are always interesting. And then there's the computer graphics, which are pretty good even today.

@Darth_Niemand: That's right, you can't distinguish the sound of a saw, one into one! Just like a film camera.
