I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not overly interested in birds, but I do love to see and explore the beauty and mystery of the world around us.  I can think of no better example of those two characteristics than the “Birds of Paradise” living in New Guinea.  Comprising some 41 species, these animals are among the most amazing species in nature with great varieties of rich colorful feathers and elaborate courtship to match.

Truly amazing creatures existing on our fragile planet.
