When Europeans first discovered the Birds of Paradise in the sixteenth century, they believed they must be from heaven due to their vibrant plumage. The men of New Guinea, however, make even greater claims, saying the birds possess supernatural powers and magic. To witness their extraordinary mating displays requires immense patience and luck, as these rare moments happen only briefly and unpredictably in tiny patches of thick forest at dawn.
