Greater lophorina

Also known as the greater superb bird of paradise, the greater lophorina is a bird that is majorly found in the rain forests of New Guinea and Indonesia. Due to the low population of females for this species, the competition among the males is very fierce. The male birds are weird looking because they have black leather capes and blue-green breast shields, which spring in an upward motion and spread widely around their heads during a courtship performance.
