Raggiana bird-of-paradise
The raggiana bird-of-paradise, (''Paradisaea raggiana'') also known as Count Raggi's bird-of-paradise, is a large bird in the bird-of-paradise family Paradisaeidae.
It is distributed widely in southern and northeastern New Guinea, where its name is ''kumul''. It is also known as ''cenderawasih''. As requested by Count Luigi Maria D'Albertis, the epithet ''raggiana'' commemorates the Marquis Francis Raggi of Genoa.
The raggiana bird-of-paradise is the national bird of Papua New Guinea. In 1971 this species, as ''Gerrus paradisaea'', was made the national emblem and was included on the national flag. 'The Kumuls' is also the nickname of the country's national rugby league team.
==Description==
It's 34 cm long, maroon-brown with a greyish-blue bill, yellow iris and greyish-brown feet. The males has a yellow crown, dark emerald-green throat and yellow collar between the throat and its blackish upper breast feathers. It is adorned with a pair of long black tail wires and large flank plumes. The female is a comparatively drab maroonish-brown bird with no long tail feathers. The ornamental flank plumes vary from red to orange in color, depending on subspecies. The nominate subspecies, ''P. r. raggiana'', has the deepest red plumes, while the subspecies ''P. r. augustavictoriae'' of northeast New Guinea, also known as the Empress of Germany's bird of paradise, has apricot-orange plumes.
