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.

Raggiana Bird-of-paradise

The raggiana bird-of-paradise is the national bird of Papua New Guinea, featured on the national flag and coat of arms. Males gather at traditional display trees to perform elaborate courtship dances, hanging upside down and shaking their spectacular flank plumes. Alfred Russel Wallace first described the species in 1873.
