I recently came acroos this video : https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1053324651468913&id=492140647587319
I want to know whether these birds are real or edited? If they're real, what are their names?

9$\begingroup$ The problem here is that your question depends on a video on another site and so is not a self-contained question here. Unless you can at least present some screen captures to illustrate the problem, it is likely to be closed. $\endgroup$– DavidCommented Aug 12, 2017 at 16:46

$\begingroup$ Have been to many stackexchange sites, have seen many such questions (& answers, too), so I thought it was okay... 😛 Moreover, taking ss would probably be illegal....! $\endgroup$– DeepCommented Aug 13, 2017 at 9:37

1$\begingroup$ I don't care who else breaks the rules. I am only concerned with applying them, and educating others to apply them, to questions I encounter as a reviewer on this site. There are many more violations than there are reviewers to deal with them. If you can't post a question in a way you consider legal don't post it at all. I vote to close this question as unclear. $\endgroup$– DavidCommented Aug 13, 2017 at 9:42

2$\begingroup$ @David Actually, I would like to keep this question open. It could have been better, but I think the answerer gave us sufficient context so it will continue to be useful for people. $\endgroup$– ttbekCommented Aug 13, 2017 at 10:21

1$\begingroup$ @tbek — OK. I'll reverse my vote. $\endgroup$– DavidCommented Aug 13, 2017 at 12:06

Yes, they are real, that's not a CGI. That footage belongs to The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and those are birds-of-paradise.
The first one is a Wilson's Bird of Paradise (Diphyllodes respublica). Here is an image of it:
The second one, showing a courtship display, is a Superb Bird of Paradise (Lophorina superba). Here is an image of it:
And the courtship display:
The third one is a King Bird of Paradise (Cicinnurus regius). Here is an image of it:
The next one is the Wahnes's parotia (Parotia wahnesi). Here is a picture of it:
The last one is a King of Saxony Bird of Paradise (Pteridophora alberti). Here is its picture:
Finally, here is the only correct way (just kidding) to watch any video with birds of paradise: narrated by David Attenborough! Have a look:
