	Relationships Between the Birds of Paradise and the Bower Birds
		In Cicinnurus, the lacrymal is much larger, filling the angle between the ectethmoid and the nasal bones and resting on the jugal bar with its expanded foot.
		The palatines are rather slightly built for a bird of paradise; they are widely separated, their lateral edge is not noticeably thickened and the transpalatine process is a bit expanded and quite similar in shape to that in the sickle-tails.
		This led to the ossification of the nasal region to solidify the upper jaw and the fusion of the mandibular rami to form an anterior wedge and hence to strengthen the mandible.

	Bird of paradise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most species have elaborate mating rituals, with the Paradisaea species having a Lek-type mating system.
		Others, such as the Cicinnurus and Parotia species, have highly ritualized mating dances, with Parotia species presenting ballet tutu-like display plumage in a dance that is among the most astounding behaviors of all birds due to its completely accidental, but nonetheless uncanny resemblance to hula and limbo dances.
		Due to the peculiarities of their mating system, birds of paradise are among the birds where hybrids most frequently occur, together with ducks and hummingbirds, which both also have highly ornamental plumage in males and often form groups for mating purposes.

		With regard to Cicinnurus these sirnilanties are stressed because the relationshipr between itland Paradlsaea {as previously been considered obscure but is possibly closer than believed.
		On ethological evidence Cicinnurus and Diphyllodes are probably best treated at present as a distinct group closer to Paradisaea than to the group Lophorina, Parotia and Pteridophora.
		The uniform cryptic coloration of females in polygynous birds-of-paradise is probably the result of convergent evolution, correlated with the fact that only females attend nests.

		After a long and difficult climb with flash lights, we arrived at the lek at first light behind a few sticks and leaves that passed for a blind.
		The Western Crowned Pigeons and the Pheasant Pigeon which we saw later in cages are truly gorgeous birds but because of hunting pressure are very hard to find in the wild.
		The King BOP, Cicinnurus regius was found however but this denizen of the canopy is devilishly hard to spot except straight up (Later we saw him well in Nimbokrang).

		IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Cicinnurus respublica
		Cicinnurus respublica is endemic to the Papuan islands of Waigeo and Batanta off north-west Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Indonesia, where it reported to be "frequent" in hill forest, generally above 300 m, although it is often heard even at low altitude
		Waigeo's rugged relief and lack of infrastructure suggest that there may be no serious immediate threats to its forests, and the Pulau Waigeo nature reserve, established in the late 1980s, covers 1,530 km², but there are reports that it may be substantially reduced in size

		Though not poisonous, Raggiana birds of paradise (Paradisaea raggiana) and magnificent birds of paradise (Cicinnurus magnificus)—which each share habitat with pitohuis on the island of New Guinea—exhibit some interesting habits of their own.Â Known for loud and complex calls, the bird of paradise family, Paradisaeidae, contains both monogamous and polygamous species.
		The males of the monogamous species are homebodies, generally dressing in dull shades and sharing in the rearing of young.
