Cenderawasih Burung Di awan?

BURUNG CENDERAWASIH burung lagenda.
(Bird of Paradise)

Selepas bertandang ke blog sahabat blogger melayuangkat yang baru pulang dari Indonesia, beliau buatkan n3 tentang Burung Cenderawasih. Saya cari gambarnya di internet.

Lihatlah betapa cantiknya burung ini. Walau pun spesis jarang ditemui tetapi masih ada terdapat di Papua New guinea dan Torres Starait Islands, Indonesia.

Di bawah adalah biologynya yang saya copy dari Wikipedia:

Birds of paradise are generally crow-like in general body-form, and, indeed are the brother group to the Corvids (crows & jays). They have stout or long bills and strong feet, with around two-thirds of the species being strongly sexually dimorphic.

They live in tropical forests, including rainforest, swamps and moss forest. In most species, the diet consists predominantly of fruit, although riflebirds and sicklebills^[1] also favour insects and other arthropods.

Most species have elaborate mating rituals, with the Paradisaea species using a lek-type mating system. Others, such as the Cicinnurus and Parotia species, have highly ritualised mating dances. Males are polygamous in the sexually dimorphic species, but monogamous in at least some of the monomorphic species. Hybridisation is frequent in these birds, suggesting the polygamous species of bird of paradise are very closely related despite being in different genera. Many hybrids have been described as new species, and doubt remains regarding whether some forms, such as Rothschild's Lobe-billed Bird of Paradise, are valid.^{[citation needed]} Despite the presence of hybrids, some ornithologists hypothesise that at least some putative hybrids are valid species that may be extinct. ^[2]

Birds of paradise build their nests from soft materials, such as leaves, ferns, and vine tendrils, typically placed in a tree fork.^[1] Clutch size is somewhat uncertain. In the large species, it is probably almost always just one egg. Smaller species may produce clutches of 2-3.(Mackay 1990) Eggs hatch after 16-22 days, and the young leave the nest at between 16 and 30 days of age.^[1]
