| Sir David in 1956. |
Let's just start with his titles, shall we? To get technical, his name looks like this:
Sir David Frederick Attenborough OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FZS, FSA
Overachieve much, Davey? But I forgive you. After all, you mucked around all over the world in your khakis and light blue button-up to bring nature and natural history to life for the millions upon millions of people who've enjoyed your documentaries, books, and recordings. My favorites are predictably the bird-nerdiest ones—Attenborough in Paradise and the Life of Birds series (both available to stream on Netflix Instant Watcher).
Let's see the man in action! Here's a clip that fuses three of my favorite things ever: David Attenborough, birds, and New Zealand:
Oh, Davey…swoon! I could go on all day, but I won't. Again, if you have Netflix, there are hours and hours of Attenborough's BBC documentaries available to stream. And now I'll close by leaving you all with what I like to call the famous Albatrossenborough photo:

Or I suppose I could deign to thrust against a woman. Maggie Gyllenhaal, perhaps, or Kate Winslet. Or Ann Wilson, in honor of my manfriend's lingering high school infatuation. Ohhh, Barracuda!
