CHAPTER XVIII NOTES ON SOME BIRDS OF NEW GUINEA The Birds of Paradise--Remarkable Species observed--Native Names -- Play-Places -- Curious Habits--The Bower-Bird: Artist, Architect, and Gardener. CHAPTER XVIII NOTES ON SOME BIRDS OF NEW GUINEA New Guinea is remarkable for its paucity of mammals and its richness in birds. As we have already noted, at least 770 different species of birds are known, and to these doubtless many more will be added as the explorer ventures farther into the interior. The chief haunts of the blue bird-of-paradise, the Paradisomis Jtudolphi, are in Central British New Guinea, at an altitude of from 4000 to 6000 feet. There are about a dozen species of the bird-of-paradise, and at Mafulu we obtained the following, of which I give, where possible, the native name: -- Lophorina atra .... Wagoda. Epimachus magnus . . . Yawvee. Astrapia stephanias . . . Becbee. Parotia Lawsii .... Aliga. Diphyllodis speciosa . . Kellolo. Ptiloris magnifica . . Besides these we found two species of bower-bird-- Amblyornis subalaris. La urea lori. The limit of the king bird (Cicinnurus Regius) was at an elevation of about 1500 feet. It has a brilliant crimson back, the throat crimson, with a green band edged with another narrow band of crimson. The breast is white, the beak blue, two big tail feathers curve gracefully outwards, and end in spatulae of brilliant green on the upper side. There are also shortish plumes on each side ending in a band of green. At Ekeikei and Dinawa, but chiefly at Dinawa, were the playgrounds of the Diphyllodis magnified. These were very remarkable. The bird chooses a fairly clear space among saplings ten or fifteen feet high. These it clears of leaves, and also the ground between, making all beautifully...

Download or read book Globalization and Papua New Guinea Ancient Wilderness Paradise Introduced Terror and Hell written by Falk Huettmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to present a reality view for Papua New Guinea based on many years of first-hand field work and research accounts. It further assesses sustainability in the light of 47,000 years of a self-sustained type of civilization without bad global impacts. This book contrasts the modern sustainable development failures from the colonial times onwards, as promoted by the ‘western world’, namely Australia, the UK, EU and the U.S as well as Japan and now, China, in times of globalization, Trump’ism and royal governance (Papua New Guinea is still part of the British Dominion and of the Antarctic Treaty etc). This assessment and book is the first of its kind also employing modern data analysis, Landscape Ecology principles (patterns and processes, telecoupling) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Open Access data focusing on ecological economics, marxism, socialism and contrasting it with current capitalism and neoliberalism that Papua New Guinea is fully exposed to. Throughout the 31 book chapters various aspects are covered how a further insistence on the ‘new’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and so-called Development Aid will result in unwanted side effects and perverse outcomes for Papua New Guinea and for the world in times of wider ‘global change’ and unprecedented man-made crisis.
