Description
The birds of paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae of the order Passeriformes. Most species are found in Papua New Guinea, including West Papua and its satellites, with a few in the Maluku Islands and eastern Australia. The family has forty-one species in 14 genera.[1] The members of this family are perhaps best known for the plumage of the males of the sexually dimorphic species (the majority), particularly the highly elongated and elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail, or head. For the most part, they are confined to dense rainforest habitats. The diet of all species is dominated by fruit and, to a lesser extent, arthropods. The birds of paradise have a variety of breeding systems, ranging from monogamy to lek-type polygamy.
The family is of cultural importance to the inhabitants of New Guinea Island. The trade-in skins and feathers of the birds of paradise have been going on for two thousand years. The birds have also greatly interested Western collectors, ornithologists, and writers. Several species are threatened by hunting and habitat loss.
