Superb Bird of Paradise!

This little dancing bird should be recognizable to most internet patrons. Their distinctive dance, in which their feathers form an elliptical disc around their face with the vibrant blue popping against the dark black as they hop about the female, is mesmerizing to say the very least. The female to male ratio is considerably different, and with there being less females to woo, this gives the males a better incentive to have an elaborate dance. Learn more!

California Condor

The blast from the past, the California Condor is not entirely unlike the Coelacanth. They are from a time of giants, a prehistoric creature who is STILL WITH US today! This particular Condor is sporting an asexual flag because there is evidence that they have performed parthenogenesis! An asexual icon! There are so few of them, almost all of them are tagged with particular names. It was brought back from the brink of extinction, and we are very lucky to still have them here with us. Learn More!

Silliest bird you know of?

gotta be him. a superb bird of paradise, who has the most insane mating dance that honestly looks sort of psychedelic. i have the deepest craving to shine a blacklight on him and see what it'd look like.

technically he looks like this when he's not in dance mode, but he can get real interesting looking while dancing.

he's just to cute. a little guy, but he turns himself into THE VOID with shining bits when trying to get a hookup.

The Wailing Paradise

For Avain August 2022, I thought the Superb Bird of Paradise definitely belonged in the Elden WING world.

QUARTERFINALS

Greater Superb Bird-Of-Paradise (Lophorina superba)

Little freak.

VERSUS

Horned Screamer (Anhima cornuta)

They have a horn for no discernible reason that breaks off and grows back, have wing spurs for fighting, their skin CRACKLES when touched because they have air bubbles under there, and yes, they scream.
