11. Birds of Paradise

Birds of paradise are found in New Guinea and surrounding islands. Two other species of birds of paradise called "manucodes" and "riflebirds" grow in Australia. Most birds of paradise live in tropical forests (including rainforests, swamps, and moss forests). Some species have been found living in coastal mangrove forests.

The brightly colored plumage is the reason why birds of paradise are a prime target for hunters, which in turn has led to the extinction of several species of the bird of paradise family. Indigenous tribes in New Guinea often use the feathers of the bird of paradise in their costumes and rituals.

For centuries, the feathers of this bird have also been popularly used in Europe as a female jewelry. This slaughtered a large number of birds of paradise. At the same time, deforestation has destroyed the bird's habitat, leading to the bird being on the protected list of many countries.

Birds of paradise have a unique dance that enhances their unique appearance. This dance of male birds not only helps them attract the attention of female birds, but also makes people nearby can not take their eyes off this interesting bird.

Another thing is that male birds spend most of their life attracting mates. Birds of paradise build their nests from soft materials, such as leaves, ferns, and vines. This bird has a habit of often placing nests in the hollows of trees.

The number of eggs that a bird of paradise lays varies according to the size of each species. Larger species usually lay only one egg, but smaller species can lay 2 to 3 eggs per litter. Eggs hatch after 16 to 22 days. After that, the chicks will leave the nest between 16 and 30 days old.
