Wilson's bird-of-paradise is a small bird-of-paradise found only on the Indonesian islands of Waigeo and Batanta in the Raja Ampat archipelago. Males display strikingly colorful plumage combining a red back, a yellow mantle and a bare turquoise-blue crown crossed by fine black lines, along with two curled, wire-like tail feathers. Males clear a small patch of forest floor as a display court, where they perform an elaborate courtship dance to attract females.
