Description
Another new species on the list of my project 'Drawbird'! And this time a real special one... and a hard one to made! I put all my effort in it! Haha! Hope you like it!
This stunning bird is called the Superb Bird-of-Paradise (Lophorina superba), endemic and only found in the montane forests of New Guinea. The body consists of four separate parts, in order from left to right: a green/blueish breast shield, a huge back collar, the wings and the tail. The 'thing' showing in the back, which I really like about this bird, is the static display of the bird during its courtship. He transforms himself while the female is right in front of him, making a dance to attract and let him mate with her! Isn't nature pure magnificent?!
Please, don't forget to comment to improve my creations in the future!

I found it on the internet and read the summary! It sounds interesting! I know a book that looks quite similar! It's called 'One for sorrow, Two for joy'! It's about a world with birds, of course! Haha!, which is separated in different groups, with the bad ones, like crows, jackdaws, magpies, etc. Maybe you can read the summary yourself on the internet!
