Birds of paradise are found in New Guinea and surrounding islands. Two other bird species of the bird-of-paradise family named “manucodes” and “riflebirds” develop in Australia. The majority of birds of paradise live in tropical forests (including rainforests, swamps, and moss forests). Some species have been discovered living in coastal mangrove forests.

The brightly colored plumage is the reason why birds of paradise become a prime target for hunters, which has led to the extinction of some species in the bird-of-paradise family. Indigenous tribes in New Guinea often use bird-of-paradise feathers in costumes and rituals.

For centuries, the feathers of this bird have also been commonly used in Europe as jewelry for women. This massacred a large number of birds of paradise. At the same time, deforestation has destroyed the bird’s habitat, leading to this bird species being on the protected list of many countries.

The number of eggs laid by birds of paradise varies depending on the size of each species. Large species usually lay only one egg, but smaller species can lay 2 to 3 eggs per clutch. Eggs hatch after 16 to 22 days. Then, the chicks will leave the nest between 16 and 30 days old.
