Paradise-flycatcher

A red female Paradise-flycatcher is busy building the nest.

Red Paradise-flycatcher males have long tail feathers and bright blue ring around their eyes.

Some males turn completely white. In the above picture a red female and a white male is constructing a nest. It is mostly made out of leaves and grass woven together with cobwebs. It takes up to days to complete a nest. There are loads of interferences when the couple is trying to built their nest.

Some males interfere their work based on pure jealousy. Some birds break down the nest purposely to issue a warning by giving a territorial threat as shown in the above picture. Days of work is just torn apart in minutes. Competition for territory is this much fierce in forest.
