Nothing says tropical like birds of paradise.

***

Birds of Paradise are a species of bird native to tropical rainforests of New Guinea and Australia. The name comes from their bright and exotic plumage, which is often compared to the beauty of a flower. The male birds are larger and more colorful than the females, and they are well known for their elaborate courtship dances. They are considered a symbol of paradise in the Pacific Islands, and are often used in decorations for weddings and other special occasions.
