Burung tropis (Tropical Birds)
Standardwing Bird-of-paradise
Semioptera wallacii
- legendaris
- 32 km/h
- Risiko rendah
Males raise two long white 'flags' off each wing and dance in mid-air. Wallace himself was the first to describe it.
- Populasi
- Number of mature individuals unquantified; not believed to approach Vulnerable population thresholds (i.e., likely >10,000 mature individuals and/or decline <10%/10yr-3gen); population trend decreasing
- Habitat
- Lowland tropical rainforest and hills, occasionally in secondary/edge woodland
- Fakta menarik
- Male Standardwings display two pairs of long white "standard" plumes at the bend of each wing, which they can raise and flutter independently of the wing itself during parachuting courtship displays performed communally at leks — the display appears aimed more at establishing male hierarchy for breeding rights than directly impressing females — the trait that gives the species (and its monotypic genus Semioptera) its name.
