I had two whole series, The Life of Birds, and The life of plants, or the private life of plants. On VHS so long ago. I think I memorized them. There was one about how well turkey vultures can smell.....some old meat buried 3 feet underground, something like that. And some crows or ravens that would drop nuts near a crosswalk so cars would crush them open, then the birds would go get the nutmeats when the light was red. I think I got that accurate.

OMG, the music at the end. He will always be "The Life of....." To me. And Blue Planet
