Take a breathtaking flight on the wings of birds across six continents and experience some of the
world's greatest natural spectacles from a bird's-eye view.

4. South America
The documentary series gives a bird's-eye view of South America, as condors soar along the Andes,
scarlet macaws explore the heart of the Amazon and hummingbirds and vultures see the continent's
greatest sights. It is a journey that includes Machu Picchu, the Nasca Lines and the cities of Rio
de Janeiro and Santiago. In Patagonia, giant petrels shadow killer whales as they hunt seals by
stranding their huge bodies on the beach. At Iguassu Falls, dusky swifts dive through the cascades
to huddle in communal roosts while hummingbirds bathe below. In a secret Andean location, condors
soar in flocks over 40-strong and scavenge on casualties from herds of fighting guanacos. Elsewhere,
a mother condor gently pushes her youngster to the edge of a 200-metre cliff, as flight school
begins. Deep in the Amazon, macaws seek medicinal clay. They are joined by a host of secretive
jungle animals, including spider monkeys and tapirs, all after the same remedy. In Peru, condors
soar over fighting sealions waiting for casualities and on a mass exodus north, birds converge on
the Panama Canal. In Costa Rica, black vultures descend on turtles as they lay their eggs in the
sand and pick off the eggs that ping-pong through the air.
