The Western Parotia (Parotia sefilata) is a striking bird-of-paradise species endemic to West Papua, Indonesia. The male's courtship ritual is a visual spectacle, involving intricate dance moves, displays of its iridescent feathers, and the creation of a circular stage. Its iconic "smiley face" plumage pattern adds to its allure. This behavior showcases its genetic fitness to potential mates. This species represents the incredible biodiversity of the region's rainforests and the unique coevolution between birds-of-paradise and their environment. The Western Parotia is a symbol of the extraordinary avian diversity found in West Papua.
