Nature Documentaries

Nature Documentaries tell the greatest biography of them all: Mother Nature’s. Our fragile world isn’t always so fragile. Sometimes it’s a savage fight for survival: a hurricane, or a tidal wave and a volcano. But, nature can also be as delicate as beautiful spider’s web and as graceful as a humming bird’s wings. Nature documentaries are about the whale, the ant, the land, the sea, the sky. Enjoy a nature documentary below!

• The Life of Birds: The Problems of Parenthood

  The Life of Birds: The Problems of Parenthood follows up with our earlier documentary review of Meat Eaters.  Today, we bring you the problems of being a good parent – when everyone is trying to either eat you or steal your food.

  The BBC teams up with Dave Attenborough and journeys to the ends of the world to ask the philosophical question: what makes a good parent..if you’re a bird?

  We watch the bird’s eating habits, behavior, and nurture. The birds need to learn how to fly, how to hunt, how to build a nest. Of course, unlike humans, birds have multiple children at the same time. This leads to a scarcity of attention. It is not unusual for more than one baby to not survive the first week. This is simply because the mother cannot tend to them all. The strongest survive.

  The documentary sweeps through an awesome range of species: sea eagles, pelicans, and many, many more and offers a fantastic amount of information about what makes a good bird parent. Watch it here!
