Wilson's bird-of-paradise — size comparison — facts and sources

Wilson's bird-of-paradise inhabits forests of Indonesia's Raja Ampat islands. The male has intensely coloured plumage and a blue crown of bare skin. It eats fruit and small invertebrates.

It prepares a display court on the ground, removing leaves and obstacles. Before a visiting female it repeats movements, presents coloured body areas and calls. The display supports mate choice; the female cares for the brood.
