The king bird-of-paradise

 The king bird-of-paradise (Cicinnurus regius) is a passerine bird of the Paradisaeidae (bird-of-paradise) family. The king bird-of-paradise is a common and wide-ranging species, distributed throughout lowland forests of New Guinea and western satellite islands. Some populations range quite high into the hills and lower mountains, which are poorly known.

The first captive breeding of this species was by Sten Bergman of Sweden in 1958. The Foreign Bird League awarded him a commemorative medal to mark this achievement.

This so-called "living gem" is the smallest and most vividly colored among birds of paradise.

The king bird-of-paradise is small, measuring approximately 6.3–7.5 inches (16–19 cm) long, but 12.2 inches (31 cm) if central rectrices of adult males are included.[10] Females weigh about 0.08–0.13 pounds (36–59 g), males 0.10–0.14 pounds (45–64 g).
