How many birds?




What do these birds have in common? They are all birds of paradise! There are three dozen species of these birds.You see the 1st bird above? It is performing a mating dance, showing of its power and skill (is THAT supposed to be attractive?!).That is all I know about it.

I saw some of these birds on an episode of Planet Earth. There is a plant with the name "Bird of Paradise" but it is a plant and not a bird.

These birds are really beautiful.
I always think of a "Bird of Paradise" as a plant. I have one in my backyard. My sister, your great aunt Nelle, brought it to me. It is a baby of one of her plants. My daddy had a beautiful Arizona bird of paradise in his backyard, and he gave me some of it. But it died. North Texas is too cold for it. I wonder if the birds could live in here?
