Lesser Bird of Paradise

The Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisaea minor is a medium-sized, up to
32cm-long, maroon-brown bird of paradise with a yellow crown and
brownish-yellow upper back. The male has a dark emerald-green throat, a pair
of long tail-wires and is adorned with ornamental flank plumes which are deep
yellow at their base and fade outwards into white. The female is a maroon bird
with a dark-brown head and whitish underparts. It resembles the larger Greater
Bird of Paradise, but the male of that species has a dark chest, whereas the
female is entirely brown (no whitish underparts). The males are polygamous,
and perform courtship displays in leks. The female usually lays two pinkish
eggs with dark markings in a nest in a tree high above ground. Its diet
consists mainly of fruits and insects. The Lesser Bird of Paradise is
distributed throughout forests of northern New Guinea, and the nearby islands
of Misool and Yapen. Widespread and common throughout its large range, the
Lesser Bird of Paradise is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of
Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES. text by
