About These Birds
Black-billed Sicklebill
The Black-billed Sicklebill is a large bird of paradise of New Guinea's montane forests, with the male displaying deep brown plumage, a long tail, and an extraordinarily long, strongly curved black bill used to probe for nectar and extract grubs from bark. It inhabits primary mid-montane forests across the main island of New Guinea. It feeds on arthropods, nectar, and fruits.
Wilson-Paradiesvogel
Der Wilson-Paradiesvogel gehört zu den außergewöhnlichsten gefärbten Vögeln der Erde. Männchen räumen sorgfältig eine Fläche des Waldbodens als Balzplatz frei und entfernen dabei jedes Blatt und jeden Zweig. Aufgrund seines eng begrenzten Vorkommens auf wenigen Inseln war die Art der Wissenschaft bis ins späte 20. Jahrhundert kaum bekannt.
