The birds of paradise are really some of the most unique and stunning animals that live on this planet.

The family Paradisaeidae to which the birds of paradise belong is comprised of 42 species. The majority of species are found in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. Birds of paradise live mostly in rainforests and they are known for their often striking and unusually looking males.
