Ribbon-tailed astrapia — size comparison — facts and sources
The ribbon-tailed astrapia inhabits New Guinea's mountain forests and adjacent scrub. Males have two exceptionally long, pale tail feathers several times the length of the torso. It gathers fruit and arthropods among branches, often alone.
Males perform at display sites. After courtship females build nests and raise young independently. Their much shorter tails help distinguish the sexes.
