Lesser bird-of-paradise : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lesser bird-of-paradise
The lesser bird-of-paradise (''Paradisaea minor'') is a bird-of-paradise in the genus ''Paradisaea''. ==Description== The lesser bird-of-paradise is medium-sized, up to 32 cm-long, maroon-brown with a yellow crown and brownish-yellow upper back. The male has a dark emerald-green throat, a pair of long tail-wires and is adorned with ornamental flank plumes which are deep yellow at their base and fade outwards into white. The female is a maroon bird with a dark-brown head and whitish underparts. Further study is required,〔Venomous Animals of the World, Steve Backshall; 2007, New Holland Publishers (UK), Ltd.〕 but it seems likely that birds-of-paradise also possess toxins in their skins, derived from their insect prey. It resembles the larger greater bird-of-paradise, but the male of that species has a dark chest, whereas the female is entirely brown (no whitish underparts).
