King of Saxony Bird-of-paradise
The King of Saxony Bird-of-paradise (Pteridophora alberti) is a bird in the Bird-of-paradise family (Paradisaeidae). It is the only member in the monotypic genus Pteridophora. It is endemic to montane forest in New Guinea.
Both the common name “King of Saxony” and the scientific specific name “alberti” were given to honour Albert of Saxony, whose wife gave her name to the Queen Carola’s Bird-of-Paradise. The bird is sometimes known as “Kisaba” by the natives of Papua New Guinea and Western New Guinea, as a human interpretation of the male’s loud call.
The diet consists mainly of fruits, berries and arthropods.
