Cicinnurus Respublica:
The birds of paradise
have long been recognised as beautiful and spectacular species, thanks to the
variousness in decorative feathering, dazzling array of colours and the
exaggerated, often bizarre, courtship displays, and Cicinnurus respublica is
certainly no exception. Cicinnurus respublica belongs to Paradisaeidae family
and also known as Wilson’s bird of paradise. The male is easily distinguished
by the brilliant turquoise crown of bare skin on the back of its head, which is
outstriped by lines of fine velvety black feathers with coppery-bronze
iridescent glaze.
