This bird-of-paradise lives in New Guinea’s mountain forests. Males dance with their plumage spread, while females build the nests. It also eats fruit and arthropods.
The male is black, with an iridescent green breast shield and three wire-like plumes above and behind each eye. The female has a black head, brown upperparts, and barred underparts.
The male clears a ground court and dances with his plumage spread. The female builds the nest and attends it alone. Its diet includes fruit and arthropods.
