🦜Lesser Bird of Paradise

🦜One of the most beautiful birds in the world, the Lesser-Bird-of-Paradise is found only in New Guinea and a few surrounding islands. This species is monotypic but shares the island with the similar looking Greater-Bird-of- Paradise. However, they do not live in the same areas. The two species can be distinguished by the color of their ventral side. The Lesser bird-of-paradise is sexually dimorphic with the male having striking yellow tail feathers with two wire plumes while the female is a duller brown.
