Step into the extraordinary world of the Birds of Paradise, a family of birds celebrated for their surreal colours, elaborate courtship displays, and unmatched beauty. This gallery brings together intimate portraits of some of Papua’s most iconic species, including Wilson’s Bird-of-Paradise, Lesser Bird-of-Paradise, Magnificent Riflebird, Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise, King Bird-of-Paradise, Red Bird-of-Paradise, Vogelkop Lophorina, Magnificent Bird-of-Paradise, and the spectacular Black Sicklebill.
Photographed across the rich rainforests of Waigeo, Nimbokrang, and the high-altitude cloud forests of the Arfak Mountains, each image captures behaviour, habitat, and plumage details rarely seen in the wild. From the electric blues of Wilson’s Bird-of-Paradise to the signature displays of the Magnificent Riflebird and Vogelkop Lophorina, this collection celebrates the dramatic variation and evolutionary brilliance of the Paradisaeidae family.
