It was not completely new information to me when I found out that the Bird of Paradise was indeed a bird and not just a flower. I vaguely recall seeing one in a zoo?or it could have been Australia,but it had been pushed behind the more common images of the Bird of Paradise flower. The flower was actually named after the birds. There are more than three dozen species in the family and most are distinguished by striking colors and bright plumage. They are found in New Guinea and surrounding islands,it is also featured on the flag of Papua New Guinea which is how I was reminded that there was a Bird of Paradise that wasn't a flower.
