Crown of Feathers
Previously known only from a century-old specimen—although a female was spotted in 1981—the male BERLEPSCH'S SIX-WIRED BIRD OF PARADISE, with six thin feathers protruding from his head, had never been seen by scientists in the wild

Hi Kenny and Jimmy,

A very good job to both of you,;) as you both may have gathered I think it is wonderful that new Species are still being discovered today, and that other Species that have been thought of as extinct are being re-discovered.:-D

Maybe you two could ask Laura if a job share is possible?:-D

Paul.:wink:
