Bird in Review 〜 The Red Bird of Paradise
Birds Illustrated By Color PhotographyNicholas A. FerrellAugust 2, 2022
We fly into the home stretch of our review of each bird in the January 1897 issue of Birds: A Monthly Serial, also known as Birds: Illustrated By Color Photography. Last week, we showcased the Guianian Cock-of-the-Rock. Today, we leave the Americas to visit the Red Bird of Paradise, which makes its home in New Guinea and on neighboring islands. This avian Red Bird of Paradise is not to be confused with the botanical Red Bird of Paradise, which grows in Mexico and the American Southwest. Will the Red Bird of Paradise measure up to the other colorful birds we have covered? Read on to find out.
You can follow along with the original Red Bird of Paradise content at Project Gutenberg and The Internet Archive.

Red Bird of Paradise Facts
Concluding in Paradise
The magazine begins its Red Bird of Paradise section with a spectacular picture, seen below.
Picture of the Red Bird of Paradise from the serial – clipped from Project Gutenberg
The Red Bird of Paradise is yellow, black, and, as its name suggests, red. Its head, neck, and breast are entirely yellow and black, as bold as a bee. Its back, wings, and dramatic tail are a reddish brown, darker on the wings and back and lighter toward the tail.
Below, you will find my clip of The Internet Archive copy of the magazine pages. The Internet Archive scan of the Red Bird of Paradise is a bit dimmer than the Project Gutenberg version, and the "reddish brown" feathers look comparatively browner. I will venture that the Gutenberg picture is closer to what it appeared when the magazine was brand new.
The Red Bird of Paradise's self-introduction and image, clipped from The Internet Archive copy of the magazine
Birds resumes its tradition of obtaining comment from the featured bird itself after the Cock-of-the-Rock was too shy or humble to comment in the previous article. Below, we will hear from Mr. Red Bird of Paradise. Reader discretion advised, however. While the editors of Birds have on occasion take it upon themselves to traumatize their audience of children, we will find that Mr. Red Bird of Paradise decided to do so himself.
Where Does Mr. Red Bird of Paradise Live?
Mr. Red Bird of Paradise tells readers that he lives on a "very warm" island.
What About Ms. Red Bird of Paradise?
Mr. Red Bird of Paradise tells us that Ms. Red Bird of Paradise has brown feathers and no long tail feathers. This contrasts with Mr. Red Bird of Paradise, who brags that women like to wear his beautiful feathers. Ms. Red Bird of Paradise is also fond of he husband's feathers, finding them to be "very beautiful."
Red Bird of Paradise Parties
While I am not sure that any bird dances quite like the Cock-of-the-Rock from last week, Mr. Red Bird of Paradise is a bit of a show-off himself. He explains: "When we have a party, we go with our wives to a tall tree. We spread our beautiful plumes while our wives sit and watch us." That sounds like a good time. What could go wrong?
Danger Lurks for Party-Goers
All parties have to end. Mr. Red Bird of Paradise explains that if he does not party carefully, bad things can happen. According to our beautifully-feathered friend, men would sometimes lie in wait, watching Red Bird of Paradise parties. At the moment that a Red Bird of Paradise much like Mr. Red Bird of Paradise would spread his feathers, the men would shoot an arrow at the Red Bird of Paradise. After skipping over some details, Mr. Red Bird of Paradise explains that the men would then dry the Red Bird of Paradise skins and take off the feet and wings.
This, according to Mr. Red Bird of Paradise, is why some people erroneously believed that the Red Bird of Paradise has neither feet nor wings. Apparently, those people were relieved of those notions much like young readers of the magazine in 1897 were relieved of sleep after reading this article.
The Other Way in Which Birds of Paradise Earned their Name
Mr. Red Bird of Paradise explains how he earned his name: "[P]eople also thought we lived on the dews of heaven and the honey of flowers. This is why we are called the Birds of Paradise."
Mr. Red Bird of Paradise exited the stage to spread his feathers. We can only hope that he carefully checked his surroundings before doing so. Upon his departure, the editors of Birds took over to provide readers with facts about the Red Bird of Paradise from a third-party perspective. We will go over the short essay on the Red Bird of Paradise and supplement it with information from contemporary sources.
Where to Find the Red Bird of Paradise
The editors of Birds wrote that Birds of Paradise generally are found exclusively on New Guinea and neighboring islands. The Red Bird of Paradise specifically "is found only on a few islands."
The 1897 information is consistent with contemporary sources. National Geographic writes that "Birds-of-paradise can be found throughout Papua New Guinea, the surrounding Indonesian islands, and a small part of northeastern Australia." Cornell University's eBird site places the Red Bird of Paradise on the western tip of Indonesia's West Papua Province.
The Red Bird of Paradise's conservation status is "near threatened." According to the IUCN Red List, "[t]his species has a very small range and probably has a small population. It is likely to be declining slowly as a result of limited habitat loss, and trends in human activity and population change should be monitored carefully to clarify the level of threat." Its status was last assessed in 2016.
More on the Red Bird of Paradise's Name
The editors restate Mr. Red Bird of Paradise's account of people in New Guinea thinking that the Red Bird of Paradise had no legs because they only saw poor desiccated bird corpses after the legs had been removed. That, of course, played a role in how the bird came to be named. Quoting from the editors:
[O]n account of their want of feet and their great beauty, they were called the Birds of Paradise, retaining, it was thought, the forms they had borne in the Garden of Eden, living upon dew or ether through which it was imagined they floated by the aid of their long cloud-like plumage.
The editors on the Red Bird of Paradise's name
Out of curiosity, I checked the 1889-91 Century Dictionary to see if it had an account of the name of the Bird of Paradise. I found almost the same account in the dictionary, reproduced below:
[I]t was called apode from the fable that it was always on the wing and had no feet, a notion which was strengthened by the fact that the specimens which used to reach naturalists were without feet, these having been removed in preparing the skins.
From The Century Dictionary's Bird of Paradise definition
Clip of "bird of paradise" definition with illustration
There are two differences in Century's account. Firstly, Century does not tie the name "Bird of Paradise" to the legends around the magnificent bird lacking feet. Second, Mr. Bird of Paradise suggested that people thought that the Red Bird of Paradise had no wings. Century, conversely, suggests that people thought "that it was always on the wing."
The Red Bird of Paradise Minds Its Appearance
Dr. George Bennett, a nineteenth century explorer, reported the following account of a captive Red Bird in Paradise:
I observed the bird, before eating a grasshopper, place the insect upon the perch, keep it firmly fixed by the claws, and, divesting it of the legs, wings, etc., devour it with the head always first.
George Bennett (quoted in Birds)
This is turning into the most graphic bird article since a certain unfortunate pecking incident described in the Mandarin Duck article. Dark stuff. I hope that children did not follow the Red Bird of Paradise's example in handling grasshoppers. That is how serial killers and genocidal despots are made. But I digress. There is a point to the story beyond gratuitous bird-on-grasshopper violence. Dr. Bennett continued:
It rarely alights upon the ground, and so proud is the creature of its elegant dress that it never permits a soil to remain upon it, frequently spreading out its wings and feathers, regarding its splendid self in every direction.
Dr. Bennett made the Red Bird of Paradise sound a touch vain, but having seen its feathers, I blame it not. I must make an additional note that "rarely alights upon the ground" is a very elegant description. Well done, Dr. Bennett – at least with regard to the second half of the quote.
When the Red Bird of Paradise Cries
The Birds editors inform readers that the Red Bird of Paradise utters "very peculiar" sounds. These sounds "resemble[] somewhat the cawing of the raven, but change gradually to a varied scale in musical gradations, like he, hi, ho, how!" When the Red Bird of Paradise raises his voice, he can "send[] forth notes of such power as to be heard at a long distance." The loud projections of the Red Bird of Paradise, we are told, "are whack, whack, uttered in a barking tone, the last being a low note in conclusion." When the Red Bird of Paradise prowls the trees for unfortunate insects, he wisely is quieter, uttering "a soft clucking note."
As vivid as the foregoing descriptions of the Red Bird of Paradise's cry are, there is no substitute for the real thing. While young readers in 1897 had little hope of hearing the Red Bird of Paradise cry, we are far more lucky today. Cornell University's e-Bird site hosts 14 recordings of the Red Bird of Paradise for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
How Does the Red Bird of Paradise Spend Its Days?
Above, we learned about the Red Bird of Paradise's "soft clucking note" while hunting in the trees. What else does it do in the trees? "During the entire day he flies incessantly from one tree to another, perching but a few moments, and concealing himself among the foliage at the least suspicion of danger."
In view of his gaudy plumage and the prevalence in 1897 of arrow-wielding hunters, he must do so with great skill. Indeed, National Geographic observes that the male Bird of Paradise's beauty is impractical for everything but winning the attention of a mate. "Excessively long tail feathers might be great for attracting mates, but they aren't exactly useful for survival." This might be news to our friend the Resplendent Trogon. Fortunately for contemporary Birds of Paradise, National Geographic adds that do not have many natural predators, so they were able to focus on courtship instead of stealth. This paints a less perilous impression than some of the stories from 1897.
Extra Notes on Mating Rituals
Birds magazine does not discuss the Red Bird of Paradise's mating dances much, despite Mr. Red Bird of Paradise's having teased the subject. So, before continuing to the conclusion of the essay of the editors, I thought that it would be appropriate to turn again to National Geographic again for a short description of how male Birds of Paradise attract their mates. Note that the National Geographic content refers to Birds of Paradise generally.
National Geographic suggests that the dance moves of the male Bird of Paradise "may appear erratic." However, "they are carefully choreographed to convince females that he is the best mate." The male Bird of Paradise gauges his audience and works "tirelessly" to refine his moves until the female Bird of Paradise accepts him. While National Geographic notes that female Birds of Paradise look more subdued than the males, it adds that the females are in charge during the courtship, selecting their preferred mates.
Content from George Bennett's "Wanderings in New South Wales"
The editors returned to Dr. George Bennett for some excerpts about the Red Bird of Paradise from his book "Wanderings in New South Wales." Below, I will reprint the Bennett excerpt in its entirety:
This elegant bird has a light, playful, and graceful manner, with an arch and impudent look, dances about when a visitor approaches the cage, and seems delighted at being made an object of admiration. It bathes twice daily, and after performing its ablutions throws its delicate feathers up nearly over its head, the quills of which have a peculiar structure, enabling the bird to effect this object. To watch this bird make its toilet is one of the most interesting sights of nature; the vanity which inspires its every movement, the rapturous delight with which it views its enchanting self, its arch look when demanding the spectator's admiration, are all pardonable in a delicate creature so richly embellished, so neat and cleanly, so fastidious in its tastes, so scrupulously exact in its observances, and so winning in all its ways.
George Bennett in "Wanderings in New South Wales" – Quoted by Birds
It is easy to see why Birds included multiple excerpts from Bennett. His prose in first faulting the Red Bird of Paradise for its vanity, but then pardoning it is clever and witty. "[A] delicate creature so richly embellished, so neat and cleanly, so fastidious in its tastes, so scrupulously exact in its observances, and so winning in all its ways." I suppose any creature with such a long list of endearing qualities can be excused for being a bit full of itself.
An Unnamed Traveler's Take
The editors included its treatise on the Red Bird of Paradise with the account of an unnamed traveler in New Guinea. The traveler was enchanted by the bird, and his description is enchanting in and of itself:
As we were drawing near a small grove of teak-trees, our eyes were dazzled with a sight more beautiful than any I had yet beheld. It was that of a Bird of Paradise moving through the bright light of the morning sun. I now saw that the birds must be seen alive in their native forests, in order to fully comprehend the poetic beauty of the words Birds of Paradise. They seem the inhabitants of a fairer world than ours, things that have wandered in some way from their home and found the earth to show us something of the beauty of worlds beyond.
An unnamed traveler on the Red Bird of Paradise, quoted in Birds
The Bird of Paradise content included the two best-written external accounts in the magazine so far. The excerpts from Bennett's Wanderings and the unnamed traveler's account were remarkably well-written and memorable. The magazine not only taught children about birds, but also about enjoying good writing.
To be sure, the Red Bird of Paradise content brought back some of the avian violence from earlier chapters. However, in this case, the avian violence was at least relevant to the story in that it tied into how the Red Bird of Paradise was seen by people and had earned its name.
The content was a bit short on some things about the Red Bird of Paradise, namely its mating rituals, but we were able to fill in the gaps with contemporary resources.
The Red Bird of Paradise continued our pretty bird series admirably, and I hope that you enjoyed learning about it as much as I did. The Red Bird of Paradise now takes leave to admire himself. Our next entry in the series will cover a variety of bird that many of us will be somewhat familiar with. I hope you join us for the Yellow Throated Toucan, coming soon.

CavsHQ Running Thoughts - Cavs v. Pacers - 10/23/12
Updated: Jan. 12, 2019, 9:35 a.m. | Published: Oct. 23, 2012, 11:22 p.m.
Check here for quarterly updates and analysis from CavsHQ's Michael Curry.
First Quarter:
- Kyrie Irving is being introduced first, making Anderson Varejao the final player introduced. I fully endorse this decision.
View full size(Lisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer)
- Joe Crawford, who is the lead official tonight, is currently the most recognizable NBA official, for better or worse.
- Right now there may be as many Cavalier Girls in the arena as there are fans. Not a lot of people in the house, despite little competition from other sporting events. What's on TV on Tuesday?
- Cavs ran two straight screens for Waiters on the first possession, but he couldn't turn the corner. Eventually it was Andy making a lead pass to Irving, who fed it back to Zeller for the jumper. An assist this early from Irving is rare this preseason.
- Cavs a running a lot of screens for the ballhandler early in this game. The motion on offense has been much better than what we saw against Philly last week.
- Kyrie Irving rolled his ankle at the 8 minute mark. Looks like he's walking it off.
- Roy Hibbert welcomed Dion Waiters to the NBA with an easy block after Waiters threw some shoulder jukes his way. The concern is that the reason Waiters hasn't been driving lately is because he's very (and rightfully) afraid of that.
- Cavs offense is currently initiating about 10 seconds into the shot clock. Everything is taking forever to develop.
- Paul George, with his length and athleticism, is about the worst possible matchup for the size-challenged Waiters.
- With a tough three, a steal, and an alley-oop to Alonzo Gee, Kyrie Irving just had the most impressive 10 seconds of the Cavs preseason.
- Miles and Thompson check in at the 5 minute mark.
- And David West wastes no time in backing down Thompson and fighting a shot in. Pretty sure Thompson is bigger, stronger and more athletic than West, but West was just tougher. That's not okay.
- Alonzo Gee may be the slowest small forward in the league when it comes to moving with the ball, but he finishes well, as he does here for an and-one chance off of a Miles steal.
- The Pacers are being very physical with Irving. He's coping okay so far, but it's affecting him, as he's whining to the refs a bit.
- Thompson did a better job of defending Hansbrough, so we know he can defend undertalented hustle guys.
- Alonzo Gee just caught the ball, took two steps back, and looked surprised when he got rung up for traveling.
- Thompson then scored over Hansbrough, so at least we can stop the "is Tristan Thompson better than Tyler Hansbrough?" talk.
- Irving loses the ball on the last possession, and the Cavs are down 26-23 after 1.
- Casspi getting minutes to start the second quarter.
- Right now the Cavalier offense doesn't generate anything but outside jumpers. No one seems willing or effective at putting the ball on the floor.
- Samardo Samuels just went over Mahinmi, throwing it down. I wondered how he got high enough to finish that strong, and he did it by lifting himself up off of Mahinmi's shoulder. Offensive foul, no basket.
- Samuels does have 4 rebounds already, nearly matching his 5 in all of the preseason coming into this game. He's doing a nice job.
- The more I see of C.J. Miles, the more I'm worried that he is a guy who will shoot himself to a 35% field goal percentage if you don't put a firm leash on him.
- Waiters and Andy back in halfway through the 2nd quarter. Irving back shortly thereafter.
- Irving finds Waiters on the break, but Waiters can't finish after the foul. He needs to be able to finish those.
- Cavs offense is really struggling to get a good shot. The offense is again completely stagnant.
- Kyrie Irving gets blocked, and D.J. Augustin turns it into a "fast break" to add two points and put the Cavs down 9. Maybe the Cavs should look into these "fast break" things.
- Zeller, tired of this offense, just gets the ball from Kyrie and plows into Hibbert, drawing the foul. Say what you will about Zeller, running over Roy Hibbert is no small feat.
- First "Gangham Style" dance session at the Q. How long does this fad last?
- The Cavs have the shot clock down to 4 seconds on nearly every possession. The offense is a mess, and this is with the Irving and Waiters on the floor. I'm going to keep saying it, Kyrie Irving is doing a poor job of leading the offense from the point guard spot. Good point guards don't allow this to happen. Irving needs to dedicate himself to being more than just a short shooting guard.
- Waiters has gotten to the line twice in the first half for four attempts. Then he picks up a steal and an assist to Gee on the break. It's progress, though he remains 1-for-4 from the field.
- Waiters hits a three in a 2-for-1 situation. That's what the Cavs needed there.
- They didn't need David West getting an offensive rebound and dunking it home.
- End of the first half, Cavs down 51-45.
Halftime observations:
- The Cavs offense has been atrocious. Credit some of that to the Pacers defense, but generally there is no flow when the Cavs have the ball. Bad shots late in the shot clock are resulting in the Cavs shooting just 37% in the first half.
- Kyrie Irving looked great for 10 seconds, and below mediocre for the other 16:37 he was on the court. Irving was just 2-for-8 with 3 turnovers compared to 2 assists. He is not putting pressure on the defense and he is not setting up his teammates. It's been a running problem throughout the preseason, but everyone is afraid of overreacting to preseason performances.
- Waiters is 2-for-6, but he has looked better, getting to the line twice on drives, starting a fast break with a steal, and hitting that three-pointer in the 2-for-1 situation. It's not quite the dynamic play you might want from a #4 pick, but it is progress.
- Anderson Varejao with the worst line you can have, putting up zeros across the board, except for his 3 fouls. You won't see that often.
Third Quarter:
- Irving starting to warm up, with an easy layup, a jumper, and a three. That sweet shooting is what makes him special.
- Waiters then finishes a break (please, more of that), and the Cavs are back to within 5.
- Irving then misses two wide-open jumpers, which is why he's shooting so poorly this preseason. He's at 5-for-14 on the night.
- Waiters is having his best preseason game in my opinion. He's been attacking, he's made a few nice passes, and he generally looks more comfortable out there. Again, his 10 points, 2 assists and a rebound won't qualify him for the Hall of Fame, but progress is progress.
- The officials are not calling fouls when a defender jumps into the man with the ball. Not quite sure why, but Tyler Zeller just got a blocked shot that was a foul in any league.
- Irving has 9 points in the first 6:30 of the second half.
- Zeller is not afraid of contact. He drew a charge on Hibbert, then plowed into Roy on the offensive end. He is just a good enough dribbler to get a step going to the hoop and get the foul.
- Then Zeller rises up over West and fights in a layup. He has 11 points and 7 rebounds, and he's showing Pau Gasol flashes right now.
- Irving misses a challenged floater. He's got 17 shots and 2 assists. And his team is shooting 40%, which is what happens when your team is playing without a point guard.
- Irving going two-man game with Samuels, threads a pass in that leads to Samardo free throws. He can pass, he can set up his teammates. He just doesn't do it nearly often enough. It's a mindset even more than a skill set, a desire to make the game easier for everyone around you. Guys like Chris Paul are born with it, but guys like Steve Nash and even Mark Price show that you can make it part of your game if you commit to it.
- Three quarters down, Cavs down 78-71.
Fourth Quarter:
- Pacers beating up the Cavs second unit, quickly out to a 14-point lead, outscoring the Cavs 9-2.
- The two came from a Jon Leuer baby jumper, but Leuer also found himself on the end of a powerful Mahinmi block. Leuer is more fun to watch than Luke Harangody, but the results may not be that different.
- Waiters is now down to 3-for-12, as his jumpshot remains just as broken, and he's being contested at the rim. He must find a way to get to the line more often on his drives, because he lacks the size and athleticism to finish over legitimate back-line bigs with any kind of frequency.
- Pacers have flipped the switch, they're dominating on both ends. While Kyrie Irving stares down - and misses - another three pointer.
- Irving gets mad at Andy for not rolling on a screen-roll, leading to an Irving pass out of bounds. Kyrie has thrown 4 passes all night - he can't be mad when his teammates aren't expecting him to give up the ball.
- Irving makes a nice turnaround jumper on the next possession, but that kind of proves the point - no other Cavalier touched the ball on that possession.
- I know, I'm killing Kyrie on a night where he scores 18 points. But he still has just 2 assists, both in the first quarter, and his team is shooting 38%. The Cavs need more from him than 20 points a night.
- Andy is still struggling - he just picked up his 5th foul. He's got 0 points and 6 rebounds, and hasn't been much of a factor. He also failed to execute on that missed screen-roll earlier.
- Alonzo Gee has 18 points, and is at least close to 50% shooting at 5-for-12. He has been aggressive and has benefited from getting up the court, which is where his strengths lie. He did a decent job on Granger as well, helping hold him to only 9 points.
- Jeremy Pargo hasn't played, which has to mean he's getting cut. Donald Sloan isn't an NBA-caliber player, but he's still better than Pargo at this point.
- Omri Casspi back for the last 2 minutes. I don't see him being moved, as there's no market for him, but I also don't see him getting into the rotation barring an injury, no matter how poorly C.J. Miles shoots.
- Speaking of Miles, he went 2-for-6 tonight, which brings him to 33% shooting over the last two games.
- The advanced metrics may have predicted that Dion Waiters would be a good pro, but the basic metrics say that he has had an awful shooting preseason, capped by tonight's 4-for-14 effort. That kind of scoring inefficiency just cannot be tolerated. He has to get worlds better to justify his draft position.
- Game over, Cavs lose by 18 freakin' points, 100-82. They scored 11 points in the fourth quarter of a competitive game. That's deflating.
Last Notes:
- Bright spots were Zeller's tough performance and Gee's aggressiveness in transition.
- The disturbing parts were everything else. The offense looks horrible, with a ton of standing around and bad shots late in the shot clock. The Cavs managed only 13 assists compared to 17 turnovers, led by the point guard's 2 assists and 4 turnovers. The hyped rookie scorer had all of 12 points on 29% shooting, and the defensive stalwart of the team managed just 7 rebounds and committed 5 fouls. The Cavs had almost a week to prepare for their dress rehearsal game, and the execution was a mess.
- For a long time now, I've been anxiously awaiting the regular season. After the last couple of games, where middle-tier-yet-still-playoff-teams beat the heck out of the Cavs when it mattered, that excitement is slightly dulling. It is looking more and more like another long winter Cavs fans. Let's hope they surprise us next week.
