Birds of paradise are found in New Guinea and surrounding islands. Two other species of birds of paradise called "manucodes" and "riflebirds" grow in Australia. Most birds of paradise live in tropical forests (including rainforests, marshes and moss forests), Some species have been found in coastal mangroves
The brightly colored plumage is the reason why birds of paradise are a prime target for hunters, which in turn has led to the extinction of several species in the bird of paradise family. Indigenous tribes in New Guinea often use the feathers of the bird of paradise in dress and ritual. For centuries, the bird's feathers have also been popularly used in Europe as female jewelry. This slaughtered a large number of birds of paradise . At the same time, deforestation has destroyed the bird's habitat, leading to this bird being on the protected list of many countries.
Like many other birds of paradise, only the male possesses a resplendent appearance. The females have light brown plumage with a dark green crown. To attract the attention of the female, the male clears away leaves or debris to create an arena on the forest floor. In the middle of the flat ground, it will perform by jumping from branch to branch, bending its body in many positions, spreading its iridescent multicolored feathers and singing. Not only shaking his head, stretching his neck, raising his tail, sometimes the male also opens his mouth wide in front of the female to convince his mate. Besides, to "score" in the eyes of the female, the male will clear away the leaves or debris to create an arena on the forest floor. When it does, it will perform by jumping from branch to branch, bending its body in many positions, spreading its brilliant plumage and singing.
The legless Bird of Paradise is not without legs, just because its legs are very short; When flying, the legs are hidden in the feathers so people cannot see. The tail feathers and wing feathers of the legless bird of paradise are two or three times as long as its body. It is also known as the long-tailed bird of paradise.
King Bird of Paradise, about 20cm long, much smaller than other birds of Paradise. It is very loyal, when one of your friends dies, the other will fast to die. The king bird likes to live alone, not in the same area with other birds of paradise. When the birds of Heaven change places, the king bird always flies up to act as a guide bird.
Bird of Paradise is the symbol of Papua New Guinea, both the national flag and coat of arms, aviation and memorabilia show the bird of Paradise.
