Here I have some amazing pictures of the Birds of Paradise taken from National Geographic and various sources. They are a collective group of birds that has stunning decorations on their body. These birds are only found in Papau, New Guinea. Featured right below is a documentary by Sir David Attenborough about these birds.
They developed such displays for only one main reason, to attract their mates. Theoretically, they make an easy prey because of their obvious colours and decoration. But here in New Guinea, there are no large mammals nor larger birds that would otherwise feed on them.
This was the case for couple of thousand of years, but fairly recent human invasion into the island has led to the decline of the Birds of Paradise population. Their feathers are good for decorations purposes and they're only too easy to spot. Watch the clip below to find out more about them.
