Then it fades to a male Victoria's riflebird, while a black bar with the caption "THE AUSTRALIAN "RIFLE-BIRD"" fades in below. It then fades to a female Victoria's riflebird, then back to the male bird spreading his wings, while the caption fades out. We see the female bird, then the male bird yet again with his wings still spread out with the other bird. They start to spread their wings out at each other, and when the female bird flies off, the male bird spreads his wings out again and opens his beak. Then the background changes to a cloud background with the logo from before zooming in. | ||

A blurry figure appears, which shines and is revealed to be the outline of the riflebird with the words "MAGNA PACIFIC" under it, all in black. The logo turns dark and reverses colours (black background, blue logo). A {{color|blue}} light shines down on the bottom of the logo. | ||
