King Bird-of-Paradise
Cicinnurus regius
The adult king bird-of-paradise inhabits humid lowland forests and forest edges across New Guinea and nearby islands. It forages for fruit and insects among the canopy branches, using quick flights to travel between feeding sites. Males are famous for their vivid red plumage, white breast fan, and elaborate upside-down courtship displays.
