Cendrawasih/Raggiana Bird of Paradise |
 | | Because they have such rare and beautiful plumage, birds of paradise have been hunted for centuries, and their feathers have been used for decoration and their supposed mystical properties. |
 | | Cendrawasih, or Birds of Paradise, are considered by many to be the most beautiful birds on the planet. |
 | | There are, however, some bird of paradise species that mate for life, and the males have drab brown feathers like the females and will help raise the young and tend the nest. |
