Cendrawasih King of Saxony Bird of Paradise (Pteridophora alberti) is endemic to montane forest in #NewGuinea, male bird has a yellow belly, the 2 long, antennalike feathers protruding from the side of the head, which can be erected at bird's will, the male's head plumes are so weird that they were once thought to be fake when brought to #Europe. Songs sung by the male sound like "radio-static hisses", repeated at one minute interval until female arrives.

Two new species of poisonous birds found in New Guinea's rainforest.
The toxin, called Batrachotoxin, is the same one found in the skin of poison dart frogs, and like the frogs' toxin, it is derived from poisonous food they consume and then stored in the feathers.
A researcher described the effects: "The locals aren't fond of spicy food and steer clear of these birds, because, according to them, their meat burns in the mouth like chili. In fact that's how researchers first became aware of them. And the toxin can be felt when holding onto one of them. It feels kind of unpleasant, and hanging on to one for long isn't an appealing option. This could indicate that the poison serves them as a deterrence of those who would want to eat them to some degree," explains Jønsson."

@mementomaori it sounds wonderful. There are a lot of #indigenous filmmakers in SE Asia and Papua who talk about issues like #landgrabbing of their #rainforest for #palmoil and #gold #mining. Many of them pay for their protests with their lives. Here is one about the #Malind people in #NewGuinea #WestPapua by Nanang Sujana 😰 https://youtu.be/kPMWWjuCGps

"We found there are 13,634 formally described species of plants in New Guinea, of which a remarkable 68% are known to occur there and nowhere else. This richness trumps both Madagascar (11,488 species) and Borneo (11,165 species), making New Guinea the most floristically diverse island in the world."
