EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Twelve-wired bird-of-paradise, also known as Seleucidis melanoleucus or Paradisea nigricans.

The intricate details captured in this image bring to life the exotic beauty of this remarkable bird. With its vibrant plumage and long, elegant tail feathers adorned with twelve distinct wires, it is no wonder that the Twelve-wired bird-of-paradise has captivated the imagination of naturalists and enthusiasts alike.
