Bird #25 - the greater bird-of-paradise (LC)

Adult male plumage.

The scientific name of these birds, apoda, means 'legless'! Apparently, when the first skins were sent to Europe they often did not include the wings or feet, leading Europeans to think they floated about with just their feather plumes.

Males do not contribute at all to raising chicks or nesting, so the females judge them solely on their famous display at lekking trees. Then, the female can lay up to seven eggs that she has to all raise by herself.
