Wilson's Bird-of-paradise
Diphyllodes respublica
Adults inhabit forested Indonesian islands including Waigeo and Batanta, where they move actively through the canopy and understory. They eat fruit, insects, and other small arthropods gathered from foliage and branches. Males clear a small display court and perform elaborate dances to attract females. The male's bright red-and-black plumage, turquoise crown, and curled tail feathers make this one of the most distinctive birds-of-paradise.
