Hello!!

Welcome back guys to another blog post this week and this weeks bird call well umm. . . I didn't bother even trying to attempt to write down this fabulous bird call which comes from the King-of-Saxony. anyway there's a video for you guys to watch instead. . .

Welcome back. . . I know right. . . what a heck of a sound from a tiny winy bird. Throughout their evolution, the King-of-Saxony's extraordinary and a display that includes waving the head plumes in sync bouncing on a perch, and delivering an extraordinary screeching, buzzing, hissing call that sounds like anything but a bird (More like something from outer space if you ask me)

Anyway onto this weeks blog, and yes 
your probably wondering why 

I haven't chose a native New Zealand bird for this weeks bird call but it's because of the fact that it relates to this weeks blog topic which is my favorite thing. . . and instead of you all face palming in front of your screens while I blab on about a New Zealand bird. I'm going to do something a bit differently and blab on about the 
birds of paradise!!! (And yes I can see you face palming in front of your screens right now) 

Two evolutionary forces have combined 
to shape the extraordinary 

birds-of-paradise. The males owe their exotic plumes and dances to 

the females who have to chose mates, and over millions of years the males plumes changes to suite the females interest. And the diversity of the 39 species is the result of geographic isolation. There 

is an amazing diversity of birds of paradise species. From genetic evidence we know that all species evolved from a single ancient crow like ancestor. 

They do so through the evolutionary process of speciation. 
Whch has ended up with the 39 species of birds-of-paradise 
which includes tiny, starling-sized birds and big, crow-sized 
birds each just as beautiful as the last and all has loads of 
different ways of how to grab the females attention. birds in 
vivid blues, greens, and reds; birds with head plumes, tail 
plumes, back plumes, chest plumes, and no plumes.
