- Summary:
- Birds of Paradise hold a magnetic attraction for the highland people of Papua New Guinea who greatly prize their delicate and spectacular plumes as symbols of wealth.

This program explores the elaborate courtship rituals and remarkable sexual displays of these exotic birds and the relationship between the highlanders and their feathered friends.
