Twelve-wired bird-of-paradise — size comparison — facts and sources
The twelve-wired bird-of-paradise lives in New Guinea's lowland forests. Males have twelve thin, wire-like feathers used in courtship. It eats fruit, arthropods and other small animals.
The male regularly returns to a chosen upright branch, combining body movements with calls. A female visits during courtship but nests separately and cares for offspring alone.
