Birds of Paradise

spirit animal

The Bird of Paradise has 45 species of small to medium-sized forest birds.

#   The birds are rivalled only by a few pheasants and hummingbirds in colour.

#   Courting couples perform for hours on a chosen perch or in a cleared space on the forest floor.

#   After mating, the plain females generally make the nest and raise the one or two young unaided.

#   The largest Bird of Paradise is 45cm long.

#   Among the most notable of these birds are the "Plume birds" which are 29-46cm long. Their central tail feathers are elongated as wires or twisted narrow ribbons.

#   The 12-wired Bird of Paradise is a short-tailed, 33cm bird with flank plumes elaborated as forward-curving wires.
