Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise
Seleucidis melanoleucus
Least ConcernThe Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise is a forest bird famed for fruit feeding and, in many species, elaborate male courtship plumes and display behavior in New Guinea lowland forests. It is generally resident, using local forest, scrub, or woodland year-round and shifting within its range as food changes. Fun fact: this batch includes some of the most distinctive island lineages in the bird catalog, from toxic ifritas to display-rich birds-of-paradise.
