Something New I Learned




This is the picture of one of the many species of the Birds of Paradise. The Birds of Paradise live in New Guinea, Moluccas, and Eastern Australia. There are close to fifty species, most of them being endangered due to hunting for their plumage, or their land being taken for other purposes. Certain tribes actually worship them and use their feathers for ceremonial clothing. That is the bird of Paradise.

  1. Now answer the question, why did you want to learn this? Are you a bird watcher?

    1. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to answer this by editing the blog or by replying, but the Birds of Paradise are my favorite animals. I watched a documentary about them on Netflix and had this obsession and realized that what I learned about them could be used for this blog.
