Science and Beauty Converge on New Birds-of-Paradise Website Come along with us in the next phase of the Birds-of-Paradise Project: a new website that uses high-definition video to explore the science of these exquisite birds. The site features 35 videos, expert narration by the project scientists, plus sounds, slideshows, and downloadable lessons for educators. We’ll show you how the males create their jaw-dropping colors, shapes, and dances. And we’ll show you why it’s the subdued females that end up in the most powerful roles. Explore the site. Looking for recommendations? Here are a few of our favorites to start with: Meet the family with The 39 Species and The 15 Genera Learn the secrets of shape-shifting Overload your eyes with the Wilson’s Bird-of-Paradise Hear the otherworldly calls of the outrageous-looking King-of-Saxony Bird-of-Paradise Take a light-hearted look at the world of dance in Life’s a Stage Get to know Ed Scholes and Tim Laman as they describe how they grew up to become explorers
