Birds of Paradise
Birds of paradise belong to the order of passerine birds. There are 43 known species of birds of paradise. Historically, the birds of paradise are associated with the island of New Guinea because some species of birds of paradise originate from the northeast of Australia, where New Guinea was once physically linked to the Australian continent.
