天堂鸟 birds of paradise
The birds of paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae of the order Passeriformes.They are found in eastern Indonesia,Torres Strait Islands,Papua New Guinea,and eastern Australia.The members of this family are perhaps best known for the plumage of the males of most species,in particular highly elongated and elaborate feathers extending from the beak,wings or head.Birds of paradise range in size from the King Bird of Paradise at 50 grams (1.8 oz) and 15 cm (6 in) to the Black Sicklebill at 110 cm (43 in) and the Curl-crested Manucode at 430 grams (15.2 oz).
Best known are the members of the genus Paradisaea,including the type species,the Greater Bird of Paradise,Paradisaea apoda.This species was described from specimens brought back to Europe from trading expeditions.These specimens had been prepared by native traders by removing their wings and feet so that they could be used as decorations.This was not known to the explorers and led to the belief that the birds never landed but were kept permanently aloft by their plumes.This is the origin of both the name "birds of paradise" and the specific name apoda - without feet.
Most species have elaborate mating rituals,with the Paradisaea species using a lek-type mating system.Others,such as the Cicinnurus and Parotia species,have highly ritualized mating dances.Males are polygamous in the sexually dimorphic species.Hybridization is frequent in these birds.Many hybrids have been described as new species,and doubt remains regarding whether some forms,such as Rothschild's Lobe-billed Bird of Paradise,are valid.
Clutch size is somewhat uncertain.In the large species,it is probably almost always just one egg.Smaller species may produce clutches of 2-3.(Mackay 1990)
The manucodes are the most primitive of the group.The Birds of Paradise are the sister group to the Corvids
