There are several strange birds of paradise. This is one of them: King of Saxony bird-of-paradise. It is known, of course, because of the two feathers it wears on its head (just behind the eyes). The elongated, remarkable feathers resemble Buddhist strings with small flags - often seen in Bhutan. They can be erected e.g. during the mating lek to impress females. But they are easily folded back and follow when the bird moves in dense thickets, which I also photographed. Here the flag bearer sits atop a broken trunk - apparently a favorite position.
