BBC Wildlife Special: Birds of the Sun God/In-Flight Mode

Two remarkable films about birds from the widely-acclaimed and award-winning television series 'Wildlife on One' made by the BBC Natural History Unit. BIRDS OF THE SUN GOD They can hover motionless, fly backwards and even upside down. They lay the smallest eggs, have the fastest wingbeats, have the dazzling plumage of all birds, and one of the 300 different kinds is the smallest warmblooded animal in the world: These astonishing creatures are hummingbirds! This remarkable film tells the fascinating story of the partnership between hummingbirds and plants, a partnership which has lasted three million years. IN-FLIGHT MOVIE Have you ever wanted to fly like a bird? Well now you can! Using remarkable new filming techniques we can now take to the air ourselves for the experience of a lifetime. This unique film enables you to fly in the clouds with a flock of geese, look over the shoulder of a soaring buzzard or hedge hop with a speeding starling, revealing just how a bird's design is shaped to the life it leads-in-flight! © BBC
