A Taxidermy King Bird of Paradise in a Glass Dome

SOLD

Latin: Cicinnurus regius

Size: approx. 47cm x 20cm x 20cm

Description: Although it looks nothing like the more familiar plume birds of paradise, the small king bird is a true member of the family. Its stunning bright red plumage and the very peculiar wire-like tail feathers that terminate in a swirl of metallic green spirals, make it one of the world?s most spectacular birds. This example is perched on a nineteenth century style wooden stand under a glass dome.
