Watch as a male Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise clears his display court of leaves and other forest debris so his amazing colors will be the center of attention if and when a female arrives. Filmed by Tim Laman on Waigeo island, in September of 2010.

You know what I think its cool about this, the thumbnail is going to attract people in the exact manner the colour display is meant to. So that is worth expressing.

Of course, 1080p wins the moment.

Concerning the wikipedia segment that reads "
The first footage of the Wilson's Bird-of-paradise ever to be filmed was recorded in 1996 by David Attenborough for the BBC documentary Attenborough in Paradise true story. He did so by dropping leaves on the forest floor, which irritated the bird into clearing them away. "

I went and found that footage and is thus :
