June 10, 2023 - Bronze Parotia (Parotia berlepschi) These birds-of-paradise are found only in a tiny range in the Foja Mountains in western New Guinea. Their diet is unknown but closely related species feed on fruit and insects. Nothing specific is known about their breeding behavior, though it is likely similar to that of Carola's Parotia where males perform elaborate courtship displays on the ground for multiple females, which build the nests and care for the chicks alone.
A collection of perfectly normal birds, part one.
Side note: I've made a new watermark and will be using it from now on
