Lyrics

[00:02.74] The best-dressed Goldie gets the girl.
[00:13.01] But while his feathers may have secured him a mate,
[00:15.88] they're not strong enough to carry him off the island
[00:18.68] and further east across the South Pacific.
[00:22.31] Birds of paradise have sacrificed flight efficiency for flights of fancy. Goldie
[00:34.46] So who did manage to colonise the South Pacific?
[00:43.91] New Guinea's enormous landscape is carved up into thousands of isolated valleys.
[00:59.39] Each shelters huge numbers of potential colonisers.
[01:09.15] Amazingly, one in 20 of the world's insect species may live here.
