    Watch as a male Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise clears his display court of leaves and other forest debris so his amazing colors will be the center of attention if and when a female arrives. Filmed by Tim Laman on Waigeo island, in September of 2010.

      yep. living in an environment with plentiful food and few predators means the only real selective pressure is sexual selection. so birds-of-paradise are free to get as absurd and ridiculous and colorful as they are to attract mates, and no need to worry about predators

    It's pretty funny how most animals look for physical strengh and health when finding a mate, but birds just go for dem bling blings and fancy houses.

    • @fubberpish3614
      @fubberpish3614 Před 2 lety +1

      its largely a result of their environment - dense rainforest with plentiful food and few predators. as such, predation and food are not major evolutionary pressures for birds-of-paradise. the main evolutionary pressure on birds-of-paradise is sexual selection, being as attractive as possible to mates. so it results in a feedback loop, male birds-of-paradise get more and more attractive to females, and in response the females get pickier and raise their standards, so the males get more attractive, and the females raise their standards again, and it just keeps going. not having to worry about predators, the males can just get more and more attractive, without having to worry about their bold colours and long plumes putting them at risk to predators

      sexual selection gone wild. the rainforests of New Guinea are plentiful in food and predators are scarce, meaning sexual selection is the only real evolutionary pressure on birds-of-paradise. so they can just evolve to be more and more attractive to the ladies, without the disadvantages bold colours and long plumes would put on a bird in an environment with more predators
