Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise

Watch as a male Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise clears his display court of leaves and other forest debris so his amazing colors will be the center of attention if and when a female arrives. Filmed by Tim Laman on Waigeo island, in September of 2010.

Absolutely perfect. Birds of Paradise have been an obsession of mine since a school librarian introduced me to them. It's an honor to see these great creatures and I honor the people who captured these images.

The tail is so fancy.. it's like those artistic fancy curls you see as patterns and stuff.
