Hi all,

RE: Birds of Paradise

I just thought I would add that the Museum Victoria http://museumvictoria.com.au/ currently has an exhibition of the Birds of Paradise.
They are (unfortunately) 'taxidermied' specimens in glass cabinets but they are amazing and the interpretation is very good.
There are some great video clips, very much like this one, on display.

The only aspect I didn't enjoy was the use of all these magnificent feathers in the indigenous people's headresses and attire.
Perhaps they found them lying in the ground.......??

Thanks for this clip Ray!

Cheers,
Trish
